IBM develops cooling system for future quantum computers. IBM introduces a modular deep-freezing system that expands the capabilities of quantum computers, aiming for fault-tolerant machines by 2029. Báo Khoa học và Đời sống•23/08/2026 IBM announced that it has deployed the first modular quantum refrigerator that can be interconnected to scale up to meet the cooling needs of hundreds of quantum chips. This system is capable of cooling down to -273.14 degrees Celsius, close to 0 ° K. This move marks a significant step as IBM aims to introduce large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers by 2029, applying quantum error correction techniques to overcome interference in real time and perform tasks without interruption. Quantum computers promise to perform many large-scale calculations in much less time than even the fastest supercomputers currently available. Quantum bits (qubits) typically require extremely low temperatures, close to absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius). Qubits operate inside ultra-low temperature chambers, but the complex structure of conventional refrigeration systems creates many drawbacks during operation. If all the qubits were placed inside this refrigeration system, the entire system would have to shut down if one of them malfunctioned.

IBM's groundbreaking cooling system solves the problem by providing engineers with specialized modules that can hold a limited number of chips. Connecting the modules together leverages the combined power of the individual quantum processors. Each refrigerator module is over 2.4m tall, 2.4m wide, and has a capacity of approximately 0.25m³, directly connected to a quantum processor via superconducting cables. This allows multiple quantum chips to communicate, share information, and work together within a larger computer. This change allows for the integration of denser data display and control wiring, simplifies connections between adjacent cells, and increases the
