With this strategic move, Denmark will become Microsoft’s global quantum hub. According to the company, the expansion of the Lyngby laboratory will enable the complete core components of the Majorana chip to be manufactured directly on site. This research is based on years of cooperation with leading Danish research institutions, including the DTU and the renowned Niels Bohr Institute.
Magne—the quantum supercomputer for 2026
According to Microsoft, this commitment supports the European Commission’s ambitious “Quantum Europe Strategy“. The aim of this strategy is for Europe to become the global leader in quantum computing by 2030. The lab is intended to help attract and train top talent from all over Europe.
Microsoft’s vision for the future goes beyond the Majorana chip. In cooperation with Atom Computing, the “Magne” project is being developed in Denmark. Microsoft is positioning Magne as the world’s most powerful next-generation quantum computer. The quantum giant is scheduled to go into operation at the end of 2026.
