Quantum Supercomputer

Microsoft is developing a topical qubit that is unique, small, fast, and controllable, which will unlock a scaled Quantum Supercomputer

Quantum Computing Implementation Levels

To achieve utility scale, quantum computing must graduate through three implementation levels: Level 1 Foundational, Level 2 Resilient, Level 3 Scale.

Quantum Networking

Quantum networking has the potential to unlock capabilities by connecting remote quantum computers and solving problems distributed on quantum clusters.
