IBM Quantum System Two

2023: Product Announcement

On December 4, 2023, IBM announced the world's first modular quantum computer, the Quantum System Two platform. This system is based on the latest IBM Heron quantum processors with 133 qubits (quantum bits).

According to the developers, Heron is IBM's most productive quantum solution as of this date. Compared to the 127-qubit IBM Quantum Eagle platform, there is a fivefold reduction in errors. It is argued that the corporation's quantum systems can be used to solve complex scientific problems in the field of chemistry, physics and materials science, which go beyond the classical modeling of quantum mechanics by the brute force method.

The Quantum System Two platform combines three Heron processors. The system combines scalable cryogenic infrastructure and classic servers with modular qubit management electronics. In fact, Quantum System Two is a building block that will help IBM implement the concept of quantum supercomputer computing. The architecture provides for the integration of quantum communications technologies quantum computing with classical computing resources. In this case, a specialized binder is used. ON

IBM deployed the Quantum System Two system at a site in Yorktown Heights (New York). Based on the new platform, the company intends to use next-generation quantum processors to improve the efficiency of complex workloads.

Generative artificial intelligence and quantum computing reach a tipping point. This is a significant achievement, thanks to which a powerful tool for scientific research will become available to users, says IBM.[1]
