IBM connects modular cryogenic systems below 15 millikelvin
IBM says it connected and cooled two modular cryogenic systems into a single environment below 15 millikelvin, with an architecture aimed at linking large numbers of quantum chips.
IBM IBM Connects First Modular Cryogenic Systems in Quantum Computing Milestone ⠀ • IBM successfully connected and cooled two modular cryogenic systems into a single environment below 15 millikelvin, designed to eventually link hundreds of quantum chips. • The new architecture provides up to 12x more wiring space than widely used IBM quantum systems and uses L-couplers to connect separate quantum processors. • IBM targets at least 1,000 programmable qubits using the architecture by 2027, supporting its roadmap toward the fault-tolerant IBM Quantum Starling system in 2029.
