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 […]

Understanding quantum computing’s pace of progress is not an easy task. Recent months have complicated it with contradictory messages. CEOs like Jensen Huang (Nvidia) and Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) estimated that useful quantum computers were decades away, while others like Satya Nadella (Microsoft) and Sundar Pichai (Google) cast it as being just years from now. Some […]

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 […]
