IBM launches first-ever 1,000-qubit chip: What it means for tech industry, scientists and more

IBM unveils IBM Quantum System Two, its first modular quantum computer, located in Yorktown Heights, New York. This scalable solution operates in a near-perfect vacuum at a temperature colder than deep space. It has begun operations with three IBM Heron processors and supporting control electronics. IBM plans to launch new chips in the next 5 years for upgrades. The company also introduced Heron, a quantum chip with a record-low error rate, five times lower than its previous processor.
