Microsoft Expands Quantum Computing Footprint in Europe Amid Global R&D Push
Microsoft has cemented its quantum ambitions with a $140 million expansion of its Lyngby, Denmark laboratory—now the company's largest quantum research site globally. The facility will pioneer topological qubit development and fabricate the 'Majorana 1' chip, targeting error-resistant quantum processors with millions of qubits.
Meanwhile, IBM and IonQ accelerate quantum investments worldwide, with Japan advancing hybrid supercomputing capabilities. The Lyngby lab's AI-integrated hardware development underscores Europe's strategic bid for quantum supremacy, housing researchers from 20 nations to bridge theoretical physics with scalable production.
