IBM announces all quantum systems in Poughkeepsie and globally can operate at utility-scale , beyond brute-force simulation capabilities of classical computers .
IBM expands Quantum Data New York , to advance algorit
IBM has completed the latest expansion of the IBM Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie , New York , which operates the highest number of available utility-scale quantum computers at a single location in the world . These systems are a part of the more than a dozen quantum computers offered to global clients via the IBM cloud .
To advance its mission of bringing useful quantum computing to the world , IBM has heavily invested in deploying advanced quantum hardware architectures . First introduced late last year , the IBM Quantum Heron processor has now been deployed in IBM ’ s global Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie .
Now available via the cloud , IBM ’ s Heron-based system offers up to a 16-fold improvement in performance and a 25-fold increase in speed over previous IBM quantum computers as they were measured two years ago . In addition to the two IBM Heron-based computers now available , the additional systems within the IBM Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie are now all capable of operating at the level of utility-scale : the point at which quantum
