Microsoft announced the Majorana 2 quantum processor, whose architecture is based on topological cubits. According to the developers, this approach ensures high system resilience, bringing closer the creation of fully functional quantum computers. The new chip is seen by the company as a foundation for next-generation AI systems that could accelerate scientific discoveries.

Majorana 2 synthesis with autonomous AI agents will enable algorithms to formulate scientific hypotheses, conduct virtual experiments and interpret the results. Microsoft is convinced that the convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence will dramatically reduce the time spent on complex basic research.

The key vector of innovation is applied problems. The Technology Tandem aims to catalyze the search and development of innovative materials needed for energy, microelectronics and other strategically important industries.
