IBM Unveils World's Most Advanced Quantum Computing Processor with 1,121 Qubits

IBM has unveiled its largest quantum computing processor yet, the 1,121-qubit "Condor" chip, which is considered the world's most advanced gate-based, superconducting, quantum system. The company also shared an updated roadmap and information on its future plans in the quantum computing space. While qubit count is not necessarily a measure of power or capability, IBM's focus is on error-correction and fault tolerance. The next major inflection point for IBM will occur in 2029 with the execution of "100 million gates over 200 qubits" with a processor called "Starling."
