MICROSOFT OPENS MARYLAND QUANTUM CENTER, GIVES DARPA HANDS-ON ACCESS TO ITS DISPUTED MAJORANA 2 CHIP

Summary from the TLDR Hardware newsletter

Microsoft opened a 15,000-square-foot quantum research center at the University of Maryland's Discovery District, giving DARPA on-site, hands-on access to a topological quantum system built on its Majorana 2 chip, a real shift from the remote evaluations DARPA previously ran from Microsoft's Redmond or European facilities.
