- IBM unveiled new quantum processors, software, and algorithm breakthroughs at the Quantum Developer Conference.
- IBM Quantum Nighthawk, with 120 qubits and 218 tunable couplers, aims to deliver quantum advantage by 2026.
- Nighthawk enables 30% more complex circuits with low error rates and supports up to 5,000 two-qubit gates.
- Future Nighthawk iterations may support up to 15,000 gates by 2028 with 1,000+ connected qubits.
- IBM, Algorithmiq, Flatiron Institute, and BlueQubit launched a quantum advantage tracker to validate breakthroughs.
- Qiskit software stack now offers dynamic circuit capabilities, improving accuracy by 24% at 100+ qubits.
- IBM plans to extend Qiskit with machine learning and optimization libraries by 2027.
- IBM Quantum Loon demonstrates key components for fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2029.
- IBM achieved real-time error decoding (under 480ns) using qLDPC codes, a year ahead of schedule.
- IBM scaled quantum wafer fabrication at a 300mm facility, doubling R&D speed and increasing chip complexity.
