Meaningful scientific discovery demands quantum computing that can scale. As workloads grow in circuit size and complexity, some requiring billions of samples, processors must be both fast and accurate. IBM Quantum is bringing together performant quantum hardware and software with the classical infrastructure needed to make such workloads practical.
IBM Quantum Nighthawk combines a square lattice with a high-speed qubit reset architecture to enable workloads with up to 7,500 two-qubit gate operations. It unlocks the ability to run more complex algorithms accurately at a price point that makes exploration economical.
Use managed workflows to run quantum-classical workflows, large-scale diagonalization, and parallel tasks, without managing compute infrastructure or storage.
The IBM Quantum Functions Catalog offers an ecosystem of partner-built services designed to accelerate algorithm discovery, application development, and improve execution performance.
Qiskit is the world’s most popular and performant open-source software stack for quantum computing and algorithms research. Build, optimize, and execute quantum workloads at scale.
