IBM announced its Nighthawk r3 quantum processor with 520 programmable qubits and plans to link two chips into a 1,040-qubit system by 2027, demonstrating significant speedups in quantum computing applications for clients like E.ON and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Quantum Computing.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
IBM’s modular quantum chips mean you can soon build much bigger quantum machines by linking processors. If you work in quantum hardware or software, start preparing for multi-chip systems that may outperform current single-chip limits.
