IBM to offer access to a dual-processor quantum system in 2027
IBM's Quantum Developer's Conference is being held this week, and the company is using the gathering to provide an update to its roadmap: It is aiming to make error-corrected quantum computers before the decade is out.
- The total number of qubits planned for next year will remain the same; how the company is getting there, however, will be different.
At the same time, it's stepping back a bit on its plan to link multiple Nighthawk processors together, dropping the intended number of linked systems from nine to two.
The changes greatly expand the scope of its next-generation Nighthawk general-use processors by adding a version with over 500 programmable qubits.
