If a few years ago companies struggled to have processors with as many megahertz as possible, then one of the challenges in the quantum race is to achieve processors with maximum number of qubits,

Now IBM has introduced Eagle, a 127 qubit quantum processor Which again demonstrates the effort this giant is making in a field that is betting on an uncertain future: one in which quantum computing solves real practical problems.

Preparation of a 1,000-qubit quantum computer

IBM itself promised at the beginning of the year that by 2025 we would have more practical quantum computing with Can cover a wide range of applications That will be more than what can be picked up in quantum computing, but for now that promise is clearly far from being fulfilled.

What is clear is that the progress is striking, and IBM has already made quantum computing a significant part of its future commitment. Vulture It has the first quantum processor with more than 100 qubits.And as Bob Sutor, one of the officers at the forefront of this effort, put it, the eagle is a sign “where we are and we have everything on the way.”

IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said: in an interview With Axios on HBO that feat allows us to exceed the power of any traditional computer: “Impossible to emulate it in anything else, which means it’s more powerful than anything that exists right now.”

At IBM they developed a “3D packaging” system capable of achieving a processor with more qubits than ever before, and also has extended the launch of its Quantum System Two, a modular quantum computer that is expected to launch in 2023 and will work with processors of more than 1,000 qubits.
