“ IBM has been a leader in both the development of quantum hardware and the realization of a highperformance , flexible quantum computing platform for the community . The IBM team had exceptional foresight in de-verticalizing and empowering their partners to push the limits of what ’ s possible with today ’ s machines . We ’ re proud to have our recordbreaking performance-management and optimization solutions available through Qiskit Functions to deliver value to the widest range of users ,” said Michael Biercuk , CEO , Q-CTRL .
Sabrina Maniscalco , CEO , Algorithmiq , said : “ IBM ’ s leadership in quantum hardware development exemplifies its relentless pursuit of performance innovation , enabling cutting-edge , utility-scale work while offering a seamless , frictionless development experience for partners and users alike , thanks to the Quantum Cloud service and Qiskit ecosystem . This commitment is why Algorithmiq has chosen IBM ’ s platform to include its groundbreaking error mitigation algorithm within the Qiskit Functions Catalog to unlock greater access to real-world applications at utility scale and beyond .”
Tennin Yan , CEO , QunaSys , said : “ As IBM advances quantum hardware with its latest Heron processor , we are excited to see QunaSys ’ algorithms running on this cutting-edge technology . We believe that having our QURI Chemistry operate at utility scale on Heronpowered systems , via the Qiskit Functions Catalog , is a key to achieving quantum advantage . QunaSys is committed to advancing our solutions , believing this synergy is essential to unlocking quantum computing ’ s full potential .”
Strengthened by close communication with New York State and federal policymakers , IBM plans to continue to upgrade and grow its IBM Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie as it progresses along its Quantum Development Roadmap to extend the complexity and size of quantum workloads that users can run .
The Poughkeepsie data center will continue to serve as a global hub for IBM ’ s Quantum Network as the company extends its worldwide fleet of systems , including the second IBM Quantum Data Center which will soon open in Ehningen , Germany .
In addition to quantum computing , IBM plans to continue to nurture the broader technology ecosystem in New York to unlock new discoveries and opportunities across semiconductors , hybrid cloud and AI . p
