performance and lowest error rates of any IBM Quantum processor to date. We are realizing this.
IBM is also launching the IBM Quantum System Two, IBM’s first modular quantum computer and the foundation of IBM’s quantum supercomputing architecture (https://research.ibm.com/blog/quantum-roadmap- 2033) was announced. The first IBM Quantum System Two was installed and commissioned in Yorktown Heights, New York, with three IBM Heron processors and supporting control electronics.

Since this demonstration experiment, IBM, the US Department of Energy Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Tokyo, the University of Washington, the University of Cologne, Harvard University, Qedma, Algorithmiq, the University of California, Berkeley, Q-CTRL, Fundacion Ikerbasque, Donostia International Physics Center , the University of the Basque Country, and other leading researchers, scientists, and engineers are expanding demonstrations of utility-scale quantum computing and confirming its value in exploring uncharted
computational territory.
This includes experiments already running on the new 133-qubit IBM Quantum Heron processor, which is available on the cloud starting today. IBM Heron is the first of IBM’s new class of high-performance processors with significantly improved error rates, outperforming the previous record set by the IBM Eagle processor by a factor of five (https://arxiv.org /abs/2311.05933). IBM Heron processors will also be added to IBM’s industry-leading utility-scale systems family over the next year.
IBM Quantum System Two and development roadmap expansion
IBM Quantum System Two is the foundation of IBM’s next-generation quantum computing system architecture, combining scalable cryogenic infrastructure with classic runtime servers with modular qubit control equipment. Masu. This new system is a building block towards IBM’s vision of quantum-centric supercomputing. This architecture combines quantum communication and quantum computation using classical computing resources and leverages a middleware layer to properly integrate quantum and classical workflows.
As part of our newly expanded development roadmap for the next 10 years, we also plan to equip the IBM Quantum System Two with IBM’s future generations of quantum processors. As part of this roadmap, future processors will also gradually improve the quality of gate operations they can perform to significantly expand the complexity and scale of workloads they can handle.

democratizing quantum computer development.
Qiskit Patterns serve as a mechanism for quantum developers to more easily write code by mapping classical problems, optimizing them into quantum circuits using Qiskit, and using Qiskit Runtime to develop those circuits. It consists of a set of tools that run the program and process the results. By combining Qiskit Patterns and Quantum Serverless, users can build, deploy, and run workflows that integrate classical and quantum computing in a variety of environments, whether in the cloud or on-premises. All of these tools provide the building blocks for users to more easily build and run quantum algorithms. In addition, we are developing generative AI for quantum code programming through watsonx (https://www.ibm.com/jp-ja/watsonx), IBM’s enterprise AI platform. IBM plans to integrate generative AI available through watsonx to automate quantum code development for Qiskit. This is achieved through fine tuning of the IBM Granite model series ( https://www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/X9W4O6BM ).
Jay Gambetta, IBM Fellow and Vice President of IBM Quantum, said: “Generative AI and quantum computing are both at an inflection point, and using a trusted underlying model framework on WatsonX simplifies the way quantum algorithms are built to explore utility scale.” This is an important step toward expanding the reach of quantum computing and making it available to users as a scientific exploration tool.” With the advanced hardware of IBM’s global fleet of 100 qubit quantum systems and the easy-to-use software IBM now offers with Qiskit, users and computational scientists can solve larger, more complex problems using quantum circuits. By mapping quantum systems to quantum systems, you can get more reliable results from your quantum systems. About IBM
