IBM has introduced its Nighthawk quantum processor, featuring 120 qubits and enhanced connectivity, with the goal of achieving verified quantum advantage by the end of 2026. The processor includes 218 tunable couplers for increased complexity and lower error rates, and plans to boost its operational capacity from 5,000 to 10,000 two-qubit gates by 2027. Additionally, IBM is collaborating with various institutions to develop a Quantum Advantage Tracker to validate quantum results against classical methods.
