Microsoft will build a quantum supercomputer using topological qubits that can perform millions of quantum operations per second

Microsoft intends to build a quantum supercomputer using topological qubits in a few years. This was announced by Krysta Svore, vice president of quantum development.

Here's What We Know

Microsoft has been working in this direction for years. Krysta Svore said that supercomputer, which can perform millions of quantum operations per second, will take less than 10 years.

The Redmond-based company has medium-scale quantum systems in its portfolio. The company's engineers are working to ensure accuracy but they are not known for their reliability.

The team is working on a system that can perform millions of reliable quantum operations per second with 1-in-1-trillion failures. The next step is to build qubits as small as 10 μm with hardware protection. The team will then create a mechanism to entangle and control the qubits.

The Azure Quantum Elements platform is involved in the process of building the quantum supercomputer. It aims to accelerate scientific work by leveraging artificial intelligence and quantum and high-performance computing.
