IBM plans a two-processor system with more than 1,000 qubits in 2027

IBM’s 2027 plan now calls for linking two Nighthawk r3 processors into one system with more than 1,000 qubits. Ars Technica reports that this replaces a roadmap plan for nine linked systems with two. The total number of qubits IBM plans for next year remains unchanged, the report says; what changed is how IBM intends to reach it. IBM says the two-processor system is meant to tackle larger, more complex problems while maintaining the speed and quality demonstrated by the current Nighthawk generation.
