The celebration brought together three Microsoft CEOs: Gates, Balmer, and Nadella. Microsoft CoPilot isn't quite as old as the company, but it was still at the center of the celebrations. Many Microsoft products have come and gone over fifty years. Is CoPilot going to be one of the keepers? This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown.

We've talked about quantum computing before but Microsoft created a quantum quake in the tech space last week. They announced a new quantum computer chip that took seventeen years to make. The Majorana-1 uses a brand new Topological Core technology that reduces error rates significantly and could create chips with as much as one million qubits of processing power per unit. Microsoft's researchers reportedly created a new state of matter in the accompanying research paper published to Nature to help them create the method for increasing the power of the chip.
