IBM and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker announced a collaboration to establish the new National Quantum Algorithm Center in the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park ( IQMP ) in Chicago . performant quantum software , which is designed to be able to extend the length and complexity of quantum circuits to extract accurate results for problems of scientific and research value .
Anchored by IBM and other quantum computing pioneers including the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign , the center will be fueled by IBM ' s next-generation quantum computer , IBM Quantum System Two , which the company plans to deploy in Chicago in the coming year .
IBM Quantum System Two within the IQMP will be powered by IBM Quantum Heron , which can execute utility-scale algorithms beyond the capabilities of brute-force , classical simulation methods . Users will be able to leverage this system with Qiskit , IBM ' s
These capabilities will enable Illinois ' growing ecosystem of quantum innovators across academia , national labs and industries to discover how quantumcentric supercomputing could be used for complex industry challenges .
As the next evolution of high-performance computing , IBM ' s vision of quantum-centric supercomputing will integrate quantum and classical computers with performant software to break apart problems , allowing each architecture to solve parts of a complex algorithm for which it is best suited .
