The beating heart of IBM’s quantum computer is a chip no bigger than a quarter. These extravagant machines promise to solve difficult problems that stump today’s best classical computers.

At the IBM Summit this week, the company announced the checkpoints they’ve hit so far, including a newly completed 433-qubit processor called Osprey, and updated versions of their quantum software.

IBM is leading the quantum computing revolution, having developed over 70 quantum computers since 2016. Jay Gambetta, IBM VP, emphasises the challenge of making these machines useful and accessible.

Today's quantum processors are error-prone. While the probabilities are small—less than 1 percent in many cases—each operation we perform on each qubit, including basic things like reading its ...

[Photos: Christopher Tirrell/IBM] BY Adam Bluestein It’s an unscientific fact that nine out of every 10 conversations about tech in the past year have been about AI.

IBM’s quantum roadmap includes two additional stages — the 1,121-qubit Condor and 1,386-qubit Flamingo processors in 2023 and 2024 — before it plans to hit the 4,000-qubit stage with its ...

Michio Kaku: We're looking at a race, a race between China, between IBM, Google, Microsoft, Honeywell, all the big boys are in this race to create a workable, operationally efficient quantum computer.

IBM will likely sell quantum computing as a hosted service along with its technical and consulting practices, he said. One potential application would be to protect the security of crypto ...

Tech firm IBM announced on Friday its first-ever quantum computer on a university campus, unveiling the machine at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, or RPI, which is located in Troy, New York.

Quantum computing requires extremely cold temperatures. To that end, IBM has built and demonstrated a huge “super-fridge” codenamed Project Goldeneye that chills things colder than outer space.
