IBM Quantum delivers on performance challenge

Two years ago, IBM® set a challenge for both itself and the quantum community. We asked quantum researchers to work on developing quantum algorithms incorporating circuits with 100 qubits and gate depths of 100. In exchange, we would build a quantum computer capable of returning accurate values for those circuits in less than a day’s runtime.

Today, at the first-ever IBM Quantum™ Developer Conference (QDC), IBM announced the fulfillment of that promise: a quantum computer capable of running quantum circuits with up to 5,000 two-qubit gate operations.

On the IBM Quantum blog, we take a deep dive into the many hardware advances, software innovations, and research partnerships that have made this achievement possible, and offer a preview of what's coming next. Click here to learn more.
