POUGHKEEPSIE, NY – By 2033, IBM plans to build the world’s first-ever large-scale and fault-tolerant quantum computers at its Poughkeepsie facility. This long-term commitment to the Hudson Valley represents IBM’s most significant investment at the Poughkeepsie facility in recent memory. The Starling and Bluejay projects, announced earlier this year, outline the roadmap IBM will follow, aiming to lead to quantum computing systems far more powerful than current technology.
Firstly, what makes quantum computing powerful? Quantum computing is extremely powerful as it has the ability to explore and process many different calculations, which is impossible for classical computers, exponentially increasing the speed and efficiency at which the computer can perform calculations, which is ideal for problems that classical computers simply are not equipped to solve. Starling, which is expected by 2029, is designed to perform 20,000 times more operations that today’s quantum…
