Microsoft research aims for a scalable quantum stack with a cryogenic control computer and a planned topological qubit running near 3 mK; software includes an Azure-backed simulator, the Quantum Development Kit and Q# plus a resource estimator that reports simulated runs to ~40 qubits. Claims: 2048-bit RSA brute force takes ~billion years classically but ~100 seconds on a large quantum machine; ferredoxin chemistry drops from longer-than-universe to ~10^9 years then to minutes/hours after algorithmic work. Demo algorithm built and shown to work in simulation: Deutsch–Jozsa speedup (classical O(2^n) vs constant quantum).
