Microsoft has unveiled Majorana 2, the latest version of its quantum computing chip, and credits its Microsoft Discovery platform for helping speed up the research process.
Microsoft says the new chip delivers qubits that are 1,000 times more stable than those in Majorana 1, a step that has shortened its timeline for building a practical quantum computer from 2033 to 2029.
Microsoft Discovery uses teams of AI agents to assist with research tasks such as materials analysis, experimentation, and optimization. The announcement highlights how agent-based AI systems are beginning to play a larger role in scientific research and advanced engineering.
