IBM has expanded its Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie, New York, marking a significant milestone in the development of quantum computing. The center now operates the highest number of available utility-scale quantum computers at a single location globally. The latest IBM Quantum system, powered by an IBM Quantum Heron processor, achieves reduced error rates with 16 times better performance and a 25-fold increase in speed over 2022 systems. This advancement enables clients to explore new computational territories and build quantum algorithms for their industries using Qiskit, IBM's quantum software stack. Jay Gambetta, Vice President at IBM Quantum, emphasized the company's commitment to breaking barriers across quantum hardware and software. The expansion has also led to partnerships with startups like Algorithmiq, Q-CTRL, and Qedma, which are developing tools to abstract away the complexity of managing quantum systems. These breakthroughs are paving the way for a global ecosystem of quantum software and services.
