Microsoft Pulled Its Quantum Timeline to 2029. Physicists Are Still Asking Whether It Has Demonstrated the Qubit

Majorana 2 halves Microsoft's timeline to a scalable machine and reports a 20-second parity lifetime. The preprint measured one observable on one nanowire, unreviewed; critics say that is not yet a demonstrated topological qubit.
