IBM Research has a goal of scaling quantum systems to a size where they’ll be capable of solving the world’s most challenging problems. IBM wants to deploy a quantum-centric supercomputer powered by 100,000 qubits by 2033. IBM has laid out a roadmap to reach 1000 qubit processors this year and 4000 qubits within two years. …
Gavin Jones is a leading quantum chemist and manager in the IBM Quantum Computational Science group, as well as an IBM Quantum Technical Ambassador. In his research, Jones explores chemistry with quantum computers, such as the formation of functional advanced materials, catalysis, molecular properties, and polymer degradation. Gavin led a recent case study with JSR, …
Semiconductor manufacturing is dependent upon chemistry for photoresists and other key processes. IBM Quantum and JSR (Japan) want to use a Quantum Centric supercomputer to accelerate Chemistry analysis to bootstrap semiconductor manufacturing. The Quantum Centric supercomputer will help solve quantum chemistry. Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science blogger with …
Huge announcements in Quantum Computer Technology have been recently made and there is a clear and active path to 4000 by 2025 and 16000+ qubits by 2027. 70 error-mitigated qubits with over 50 step layers of algorithmic capability is believed to be the point where quantum computers will surpass exaflop supercomputers for cracking big problems. …
IBM has a 433 qubit quantum processor called Osprey and has a roadmap for 4000 qubits in 2025 and 100,000 qubits by 2030. These are more powerful qubits than the 5000+ adiabatic qubits from DWave Systems. Most other quantum computer companies are at about 50-100 qubits. The number of usable error-mitigated qubits is being improved. …
IBM and Samsung Electronics jointly announced a breakthrough in semiconductor design utilizing a new vertical transistor architecture that demonstrates a path to scaling beyond nanosheet, and has the potential to reduce energy usage by 85 percent compared to a scaled fin field-effect transistor (finFET). This collaborative approach to innovation makes the Albany Nanotech Complex a …
IBM announced a new 127-quantum bit (qubit) ‘Eagle’ processor at the IBM Quantum Summit 2021. The ‘Eagle’ processor is a breakthrough in tapping into the massive computing potential of devices based on quantum physics. It heralds the point in hardware development where quantum circuits cannot be reliably simulated exactly on a classical computer. IBM also …
IBM announced the first chip with 2 nanometer (nm) nanosheet technology. IBM’s new 2 nm chip technology helps advance the state-of-the-art in the semiconductor industry, addressing this growing demand. It is projected to achieve 45 percent higher performance, or 75 percent lower energy use, than today’s most advanced 7 nm node chips. Four years after …
IBM’s current largest quantum computer has 65 qubits, but they revealed a roadmap to 1000 qubits by 2023. The IBM plan is 127 qubits in 2021 and 433 qubits in 2022. The Quantum Computer Market is at about $1 billion today and there are various projections that it will reach about $65 billion in 2030. …
IBM has upgraded one of its newest 27-qubit client-deployed systems to achieve a Quantum Volume 64. Congratulations to IBM for advancing quantum computer technology that matches the best quantum volume metric for a quantum computer. Honeywell also claims a Quantum Volume 64 quantum computer. The best a regular non-quantum computer working on the type of …
IBM is updating its mainframe chips with the Z15. It is a 14-nanometer chip. This matters because COBOL and mainframes are still processing the bulk of global business transactions. The IBM presentation was at the Hot Chips conference which was attended by Sander Olson. The mainframe and enterprise assets are at the center of a …
