The opportunity for Microsoft to leverage its leadership in cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) with new enterprise-scale quantum solutions highlights a significant long-term growth potential. Here are three reasons I believe Microsoft is the new king of quantum computing.

There isn't yet a roadmap to show Microsoft can scale its chip to the million topological qubits required to make a working quantum computer.

Microsoft said they created a computer chip that uses a new state of matter that will be capable of running the most powerful computers ever — a potential breakthrough for quantum computing that many believed was decades away.
