IBM wants to build a 100,000-qubit quantum computer
IBM is planning to build a 100,000-qubit quantum computer within the next decade, significantly surpassing its current 433-qubit system. Announced at the G7 summit, this project will involve collaborations with the University of Tokyo and the University of Chicago. The goal is to integrate quantum and classical supercomputers to tackle complex problems in fields like drug discovery and battery performance. Despite challenges, IBM is exploring innovative technologies, including CMOS circuits for energy-efficient qubit control, to achieve this ambitious target. The project emphasizes the importance of academic-industry partnerships in advancing quantum computing.
