Microsoft announced expansion of its Lyngby, Denmark, Quantum Lab by adding a second facility, making it the company’s largest quantum site globally.
The article states that the expansion lifts Microsoft’s total quantum investment in Denmark above DKK 1 billion and advances development of topological qubits for the Majorana 1 chip, which Microsoft introduced earlier this year.
“With this expansion of the Lyngby lab, we are converting deep physics into manufacturable technology, while reinforcing our commitment to Denmark and to Europe, advancing transatlantic collaboration,” said Jason Zander, executive vice president.
Microsoft’s article adds that the enlarged Lyngby cleanroom enables full fabrication of the Majorana chip’s core and highlights a long-running collaboration with Danish institutions such as the Niels Bohr Institute and DTU.For context on Denmark’s broader quantum push, the Novo Nordisk Foundation and EIFO said in July that QuNorth will acquire and operate “Magne,” billed as the world’s most powerful quantum computer, with construction starting autumn 2025 and operations expected late 2026.
