From a New Mexico startup to the "lost decade" and now an admired prominence, Microsoft put the Seattle region on the Big Tech map, Jon Talton writes.

Since Microsoft’s Majorana 1 quantum computing news, some members of the scientific community have raised questions about the validity of the tech giant’s claims. Here’s why.

Tuning a qubit using these longer chains should be less affected by gate noise." To achieve true topological protection, Bordin aims to make the Kitaev chains even longer: "Employing machine ...

Despite glitches in the funding mechanism, salary caps on scientists and hurdles in purchasing high-end equipment from abroad, TIFR professor Rajamani Vijayaraghavan is racing to build India’s first q ...

Slowly, we are realizing that quantum computing is no longer science fiction, it’s the next global arms race. These machines ...

If true, a topological qubit-based computer may need far fewer qubits to achieve results than other approaches which solve decoherence simply by building larger machines with more qubit redundancy.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has selected IonQ and Rigetti to participate in its Quantum ...

Yesterday, three members of Microsoft’s quantum team presented their work towards a topological quantum computer at the APS Global Summit in Anaheim. Last month, the team made waves announcing ...
