Description
IBM announced fundamental progress on its path to delivering both quantum advantage by the end of 2026 and fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2029.
IBM is unveiling IBM Quantum Nighthawk, its most advanced quantum processor yet and designed with an architecture for enhanced connectivity, to complement high-performing quantum software to deliver quantum advantage next year.
In a parallel path, IBM is rapidly delivering milestones towards building the world’s first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029.
IBM has already demonstrated the breakthrough features that will be incorporated into Loon, including the introduction of multiple high-quality, low-loss routing layers to provide pathways for longer, on-chip connections (or “c-couplers”) that go beyond nearest-neighbor couplers and physically link distant qubits together on the same chip, as well as technologies to reset qubits between computations.
About the software point of view, Qiskit SDK v2.2 concerns Qiskit’s C API, which takes an important step toward building out our support for HPC environments with the introduction of a standalone transpiler function that is directly callable from C. With this capability in place, it is now possible to construct end-to-end quantum workflows that you can execute natively in C and other compiled languages integrated via the C API.
