Building the platform for useful quantum computing

Meaningful scientific discovery demands quantum computing that can scale. As workloads grow in circuit size and complexity, some requiring billions of samples, processors must be both fast and accurate. IBM Quantum is bringing together performant quantum hardware and software with the classical infrastructure needed to make such workloads practical.

IBM Quantum Nighthawk combines a square lattice with a high-speed qubit reset architecture to enable workloads with up to 7,500 two-qubit gate operations. It unlocks the ability to run more complex algorithms accurately at a price point that makes exploration economical.
