Data center campus
Microsoft Quantum Lab Copenhagen (Magne)
Microsoft Quantum Lab Copenhagen is a tracked AI data center campus in Copenhagen, Denmark. Microsoft's largest quantum R&D site, sited in Lyngby just north of Copenhagen and rooted in a long-running collaboration with the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. The site pairs the original 2018 Mi
