Scientists at IBM have created two new quantum processing units (QPUs) that they say will take them a step closer to achieving quantum advantage by next year — and a fully fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029.
The first processor, called IBM Quantum Nighthawk, is a 120-qubit chip that can process quantum calculations that are 30% more complex than anything the company's previous QPU (R2 Heron) could handle.
