One 2026 quantum prediction is that it will to be the year when useful logical qubit based quantum computers will appear (dealt with prudently by Riverlane and Innovation Origins). In a sense, it would mark an irreversible transition from NISQ to FTQC. Here, vendors face a complexity challenge not only to deliver what’s in their roadmaps […]

Microsoft captured quantum news headlines on February 19, 2025 by publishing an arXiv blueprint for its future fault-tolerant quantum computers (FTQCs) using Majorana fermions, a Nature paper about the measurement of Majorana Zero Modes (MZMs) in a chip containing the equivalent of half a physical topological qubit, and then a press release summarizing the whole and introducing […]
