IBM reaches a new level in the development of quantum computing

At the annual Quantum Technology Developers Conference, IBM unveiled the new IBM Quantum Nighthawk processor, which the company considers its most advanced achievement in quantum computing. This processor has 120 qubits connected through 218 newly customized connectors, which allows for more complex quantum operations with low error rates. IBM expects that future versions of Nighthawk will be able to process up to 15,000 two-qubit operations by 2028, opening up new opportunities for applications in various industries.

In addition, IBM has announced an update to its Qiskit software, which provides more accurate control of quantum circuits and improved performance by using classical computing methods to correct errors. The company also plans to add new libraries to expand Qiskit's functionality by 2027. The production of quantum processors will take place at the Albany NanoTech Complex, which will significantly accelerate the development of new technologies.

These advances in coherent quantum computing underscore IBM's importance in the field and contribute to the development of reliable, large quantum systems, in particular through the IBM Quantum Loon project, which demonstrates the essential components to ensure the sustainability of quantum systems in practice.
