We invite you to engage with us at Microsoft at booth #500 at IEEE Quantum Week 2025
Microsoft keynote and demo showcase:
We’re excited to meet you and share the latest in quantum computing—from experimental results on our tetron qubit and our roadmap toward fault-tolerant topological architectures, to third-party collaborations advancing reliable quantum computing, and new approaches for chemistry and materials discovery. You’ll also see how developers can accelerate quantum coding with tools like Q#, VS Code, and GitHub Copilot.
Where: Albuquerque Convention Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico
When: August 31-September 5, 2025
Microsoft Keynote
Majorana-Based Topological Qubits: A Path to Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing
Presenter: Chetan Nayak
Microsoft’s tetron qubit—built from hybrid superconductor–semiconductor nanowires hosting pairs of Majorana zero modes—marks a key advance in topological quantum computing. This talk presents the latest experimental results, including the first demonstration of two distinct fermion parity measurements in a Majorana-based system. It also outlines our roadmap from single tetrons to multi-qubit arrays capable of quantum error correction, charting a concrete path toward scalable, reliable quantum computation.
