Azure Quantum

Azure Quantum is presented by Microsoft Azure as a quantum computing offering designed to work alongside Azure high-performance computing and AI capabilities. The site says it helps users pursue scientific discovery and computational exploration, and it links the service to Microsoft's broader quantum roadmap.

Microsoft also positions Azure Quantum around both current access and future hardware development. On the Azure page, Microsoft highlights Majorana 1, described as a quantum chip built using a material it calls a topoconductor, and says the chip reflects its approach toward scaling quantum computing. The page also promotes a Quantum Ready program for organizations building a quantum strategy.

A clearly matching Wikipedia article describes Microsoft Azure Quantum as a public cloud-based quantum computing platform developed by Microsoft. That article says it offers quantum hardware, software, and solutions for developers, and notes support for partner hardware as well as Microsoft's Q# programming language.
