Insider Brief
IBM has released Nighthawk r2, a 120-qubit processor designed to deliver more useful computation through substantially faster qubit resets.
The processor can execute more than 100,000 circuits per second, 25 times the throughput of IBM’s Heron systems, while maintaining comparable gate accuracy.
Nighthawk r2 has demonstrated accurate estimates on circuits containing more than 7,500 gates and supports in-circuit resets for quantum error-correction research.
IBM has released its fastest quantum processor to date, using a new qubit-reset system to run substantially more computations without sacrificing accuracy.
