Microsoft has announced the expansion of its Quantum facility in Lyngby, Denmark, establishing the company’s largest quantum site globally. The total investment in Denmark’s quantum infrastructure has surpassed DKK 1 billion ($156 million USD). The facility is dedicated to accelerating the development of scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing technology.
The new state-of-the-art lab will advance the development of topological qubits, which form the core of Microsoft’s “Majorana 1” quantum processing unit. The expansion provides the necessary cleanroom capacity, instrumentation, and process control to iterate faster and at higher yield on topological qubits. Crucially, the expanded capacity will enable the full fabrication of the Majorana chip core in Denmark.
Lauri Sainiemi, Vice President and Leader of the Lyngby Quantum Lab, noted that the facility is converting deep physics into manufacturable technology and reinforces confidence in achieving true quantum scale. The expansion aligns with Europe’s broader push for quantum leadership and is positioned as one of the world’s first AI-enabled hardware labs.
In a related initiative, Microsoft is partnering with the Nordic quantum initiative QuNorth and Atom Computing to deliver a next-generation quantum computer named Magne. Magne will be the first operational deployment of a machine powered by logical qubits, combining Microsoft’s advanced error correction software with Atom Computing’s neutral-atom hardware.
