Yonsei University to Upgrade On-Premises IBM Quantum System One to Next-Generation Nighthawk QPU - Quantum Computing Report

The Yonsei Quantum Initiative at Yonsei University (Songdo Campus, Incheon, South Korea) has announced an operational hardware upgrade for its on-premises IBM Quantum System One facility. Scheduled for November 2026, the university will replace its current 127-qubit IBM Eagle quantum processing unit (QPU) with IBM’s 120-qubit Nighthawk QPU, making Yonsei the second facility globally—after IBM Miami—to host a Nighthawk-based quantum computer. The upgrade marks a transition in physical topology and interconnect design: To drive commercial application adoption alongside the November QPU installation, Yonsei will launch “Q-Bridge”—a quantum-classical integration software platform and domain-specific algorithm repository (“Q-Library”) designed to allow non-quantum enterprise partners [...]
