With all the news in the quantum world this month—including DARPA’s new list of the most viable quantum companies, and Quantinuum’s announcement of “the most accurate quantum computer in the world“—IBM, not to be outdone, put out a statement of its own. The top-line message: We’re doing great!
IBM’s quantum program is hitting all the milestones it’s set out in its most recent road map—and it is accelerating progress toward a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer, by shifting production of its quantum processors out of its research labs to an advanced 300mm wafer fabrication facility at the Albany NanoTech Complex. The move will double the speed at which IBM can produce quantum processors, and enable a tenfold increase in their physical complexity.
The company also announced two new processors, which IBM Fellow and Director of Quantum Systems Jerry Chow told me, on a recent tour of the company’s lab in Yorktown Heights, represent the company’s…
