## IBM NEWS AND UPDATES



- [IBM unveils its 433 qubit Osprey quantum computer](/quantum-news/2022/ibm-unveils-its-433-qubit-osprey-quantum-computer.md)

  IBM’s Osprey quantum processor has 433 qubits, up from the 127 qubits of its 2021 Eagle processor. The company plans to hit the 4,000-qubit stage with its Kookaburra processor in 2025. 


- [U.S. quantum cryptography standards set for release next week](/quantum-news/2024/us-quantum-cryptography-standards-set-for-release-next-week.md)

  NIST is set to release finalized post-quantum cryptography guidance the week of Aug. 12 to protect against future quantum computers’ ability to break modern encryption methods.


- [IBM Reportedly Partnering With Japan's AIST to Develop 10,000-Qubit Quantum Computer](/quantum-news/2024/ibm-reportedly-partnering-with-japans-aist-to-develop-10000-qubit-quantum-computer.md)

  Japan’s AIST will collaborate with IBM to develop a 10,000-qubit quantum computer, significantly advancing current technology, and has also signed a deal for a Fujitsu quantum computer installation.


- [Bizarre device uses 'blind quantum computing' to let you access quantum computers from home](/quantum-news/2024/bizarre-device-uses-blind-quantum-computing-to-let-you-access-quantum-computers-from-home.md)

  Researchers have developed a secure method called “blind quantum computing” that allows PCs to connect to quantum computers over the internet using fiber-optic cables and quantum memory, potentially making advanced quantum computing more accessible.


- [IBM Quantum Computing Blog | Landmark IBM error correction paper on Nature cover](/quantum-news/2024/ibm-quantum-computing-blog-landmark-ibm-error-correction-paper-on-nature-cover.md)

  Last year, IBM demonstrated that quantum computers had entered the era of utility, where they are now capable of running quantum circuits better than classical computers can. Over the next few years, they expect to find speedups over classical computing and extract business value from these systems.


- [IBM makes major leap in quantum computing error-detection](/quantum-news/2023/ibm-makes-major-leap-in-quantum-computing-error-detection.md)

  IBM researchers have developed a system that improves error-detection in quantum computing, a major obstacle to its advancement. Quantum computers are highly sensitive to noise and prone to errors in their qubits. Unlike standard computer bits, qubits cannot be cloned without introducing errors. The researchers have developed an improved code and redesigned qubit placement that reduces the number of physical qubits needed for error-correction by one-tenth. While the approach currently only works on quantum memory and not computational power, it is seen as a step towards fault-tolerant quantum computing. 


- [IBM quantum computer runs largest quantum program yet](/quantum-news/2022/ibm-quantum-computer-runs-largest-quantum-program-yet.md)

  A quantum computer has run the largest quantum program yet. The computer made errors, but a mathematical method was able to extract a meaningful result anyway. This error-mitigation technique could help quantum computers become more useful than their imperfect hardware would otherwise allow them to be. IBM’s quantum computer had qubits made from tiny wires that conduct electricity perfectly. Superconducting qubits are typically programmed by being hit with pulses of microwaves, so running the new program was equivalent to programming a microwave pulse sequence. 


- [Amazon, IBM Move Swiftly on Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms Selected by NIST](/quantum-news/2022/amazon-ibm-move-swiftly-on-post-quantum-cryptographic-algorithms-selected-by-nist.md)

  A month after the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) revealed the first quantum-safe algorithms, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and IBM have swiftly moved forward. Google was also quick to outline an aggressive implementation plan for its cloud service that it started a decade ago.
