The man leading Microsoft’s multibillion-dollar scheme to build a quantum computer says he isn’t interested in appeasing scientists. They cited inconclusive data in Microsoft’s research papers and the lack of peer-review analysis for many of the results. But Alam, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of quantum, tells WIRED with a chuckle, “I don’t really care.” In June, the software giant said it had produced a qubit that’s 1,000 times more reliable than its predecessor, using Microsoft’s scientific discovery AI agent. But scientists are still questioning the Majorana work underpinning the breakthrough, as Microsoft refuses to share the raw data behind its results.
