Ibm Q System One Qubits

Ibm s q system one has 20 qubits.

Ibm q system one qubits. The eye popping million qubit number is still far out agrees ibm but perhaps not that far out. Ibm today outlined its ambitious quantum computing technology roadmap at its virtual quantum summit. The ibm q system one contains a fourth generation 20 qubit machine. Ibm is touting the q system one as the world s first fully integrated universal quantum computing system designed for scientific and commercial use but that s a description that needs a lot of.

Ibm s quantum race to one million qubits. But for it to achieve performance greater than classical computers the number of qubits needs to increase to at least 50 qubits a milestone known as quantum. That s a big leap up from the ibm q system one it debuted this past january which had 20 qubits of processing power. Just as eye popping is ibm s nearer term plan for a 1 000 plus qubit system named condor.

At its core the system has 53 qubits of processing power. Bob sutor leader of ibm s q system one team said the q system one currently uses 20 qubits. Ibm also said the q system one has some of the. Ibm s 14th quantum computer is its most powerful so far a model with 53 of the qubits that form the fundamental data processing element at the heart of the system.

By the time you get up to around 280 qubits that number two to the 280th power is. Ibm said its q system one which has a 20 qubit processor produced a quantum volume of 16 double the current ibm q which has a quantum volume of 8.
