IBM IBM plans to scale its quantum computing system beyond 1,000 qubits next year, as the company seeks to build more powerful machines capable of solving increasingly complex problems.
IBM plans to connect two such processors in 2027 to create a system with 1,040 qubits.
The partners reported performance improvements of up to 19 times compared with previous IBM quantum processors, while maintaining the accuracy needed for scientific computing, IBM said.
IBM said its enhanced Quantum Platform will allow users to run quantum and classical computing workflows in a single environment.
The developments are part of IBM's broader roadmap towards fault-tolerant quantum computing, in which errors can be detected and corrected reliably enough to support large-scale computations.
