June 10 (UPI) -- IBM on Tuesday revealed its map to the development of its large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer styled as "Quantum Starling."
The Quantum Starling, to be built at IBM headquarters in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., will be part of IBM's new Quantum Nighthawk processor set for release later this year.
"IBM is charting the next frontier in quantum computing," IBM Chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna said Tuesday.
The Nighthawk is set to replace the Quantum Heron processor, the company said in a blog post. The Nighthawk, meanwhile, runs at 5,000 gates like the Heron with plans to boost it to 15,000 gates within the next three years.
