IBM has updated its quantum roadmap following the launch of its 133 qbit Heron chip and the System Two quantum computer. Heron is the first in a new series...

Today, at its annual IBM Quantum Summit in New York, the company debuted the 133-qubit Quantum Heron, the first in what IBM said will be a series of [...]

IBM has announced that it has unlocked practical utility out of todays NISQ-era quantum computers - showing how a pairing of quantum and standard computing is required for reliable, consistent, truth

Today's quantum computers often calculate the wrong answer because of noisy environments that interfere with the quantum entanglement of qubits. IBM Quantum has pioneered a technique that accounts for the noise to achieve reliable results. They tested this error mitigation strategy against supercomputer simulations run by UC Berkeley physicists, and for the hardest calculations, the quantum computer bested the supercomputer. This is evidence for the utility of today's noisy quantum com...

Despite steady improvements in quantum computers, theyre still noisy and error-prone, which leads to questionable or wrong answers. Scientists predict that they wont truly outcompete todays "classical" supercomputers for at least five or ten years, until researchers can adequately correct the errors that bedevil entangled quantum bits, or qubits.
