Microsoft used agentic AI to make its quantum chip 1,000 times more reliable, then cut its timeline to a scalable quantum computer in half
SMRTR summary
Microsoft unveiled Majorana 2, a quantum chip whose qubits last 20 seconds — far longer than competitors' microsecond lifetimes. Agentic AI tools automated testing, analyzed decades of data, and caught fabrication errors that humans missed, cutting development time dramatically. These breakthroughs pushed Microsoft's timeline for a scalable quantum computer from 2033 to 2029, with major potential impact on drug discovery, cryptography, and materials science.
