"IBM's quantum program is hitting all the milestones it's set out in its most recent road map-and it is accelerating progress toward a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer, by shifting production of its quantum processors out of its research labs to an 300mm quantum advanced 300mm wafer fabrication facility at the Albany NanoTech Complex. The move will double the speed at which IBM can produce quantum processors, and enable a tenfold increase in their physical complexity."
"The IBM Quantum Nighthawk processor, which allows more complex computations with the same low error rates as its predecessor, is built for near-term "quantum advantage"-applications that show an edge over classical (non-quantum) computing approaches alone. By combining high-powered computing (HPC) with quantum processors, IBM believes that researchers will show verifiable examples of quantum advantage in 2026. The company has joined with Algorithmiq, Flatiron Institute, and BlueQubit to create an open, community-led "quantum advantage tracker" to systematically monitor and verify emerging demonstrations of advantage."
IBM's quantum program is meeting roadmap milestones and accelerating toward large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. Production of quantum processors is shifting from research labs to a 300mm wafer fabrication facility at the Albany NanoTech Complex, doubling production speed and enabling a tenfold increase in physical complexity. Two new processors were announced: IBM Quantum Nighthawk for near-term quantum advantage with low error rates, and IBM Quantum Loon as an experimental step toward fault-tolerant architectures aimed for 2029. Combining high-performance computing with quantum processors targets verifiable quantum advantage by 2026. Partnerships will create an open quantum advantage tracker.
