IBM has actually revealed its very first quantum computing processor that goes beyond 1,000 qubits, or quantum bits. That makes it the second-largest chip ever made, however scientists are even more thrilled about one that’s a tenth that size.
The 1,121-qubit IBM Quantum Condor chip is developed on the architecture of its previous flagship, the 127-qubit Eagle chip. In size, it is simply shy of the record holder, a 1,125-qubit maker revealed by the business Atom in October.
As part of its 10-year quantum computing roadway map, IBM stated it will not put any of these Condor processors into its “next-generation” System Two quantum computer system that would utilize numerous, synchronised quantum processors.
Rather, it prepares to utilize the freshly released IBM Quantum Heron processors, which have simply 133 qubits each.
Why 100 qubits can be much better than 1,000
Classical computer systems, varying from smart devices to the most effective supercomputers, carry out estimations by keeping info in bits that can take a worth of either 0 or 1.
