An IBM Quantum Computer Will Soon Pass the 1,000-Qubit Mark

Good news! Very exciting! Let's ring in the New Year with lot's more computing power! Plus, IBM plans to release the necessary software to take better advantage quantum computing! 

How many times over how many years they told us Big Blue is outdated and obsolete! 😊 It is still a remarkable technology/computer hardware  company at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century!

Mainframes are dead, long live the quantum computer!

"IBM’S Condor, the world’s first universal [or general-purpose] quantum computer with more than 1,000 qubits, is set to debut in 2023. The year is also expected to see IBM launch Heron, the first of a new flock of modular quantum processors that the company says may help it produce quantum computers with more than 4,000 qubits by 2025. ...
In 2023, IBM also plans to improve its core software to help developers use quantum and classical computing in unison over the cloud. “We’re laying the groundwork for what a quantum-centric supercomputer looks like,” ...
Nevertheless, IBM has steadily increased its qubit numbers. In 2016, it put the first quantum computer in the cloud anyone to experiment with—a device with 5 qubits, each a superconducting circuit cooled to near absolute zero. In 2019, the company created the 27-qubit Falcon; in 2020, the 65-qubit Hummingbird; in 2021, the 127-qubit Eagle, the first quantum processor with more than 100 qubits; and in 2022, the 433-qubit Osprey."

This type of computer is probably not coming anytime soon to your home 😊
