“So we’re right here in the Think lab at our IBM Yorktown Heights Research lab. Right behind me is actually our state of the art IBM Quantum System Two. And it actually houses three of our most advanced heron quantum processors. Each one of them has 156 qubits, and it’s the most advanced and most powerful quantum computer chips in the world.”

“So we really hope that within two years, given the system and capabilities that we have been building in terms of the complexity of our devices and working really in concert with the high performance computing community that we’ll be able to help our clients achieve quantum advantage – and that really means finding solutions to problems and looking at ways of actually getting results that are cheaper, faster, or more accurate – using a quantum computer in conjunction with a classical computer than using a classical computer alone.”

“Some really exciting applications areas which we are looking at quantum computing, the industry really is looking at quantum computing to impact, are …areas of drug discovery and better batteries, all these different types of types of things. Where really the core element, though, is understanding chemistry better, understanding molecular structure better.”

STORYLINE:
Computer scientists here at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York state are working on the future of computing on advanced prototypes of quantum computers.
Quantum computing is based on the science of quantum mechanics.
Describing the inner workings of a quantum computer isn’t easy, even for top scholars.
That’s because the machines process information at the scale of particles such as electrons and photons, where different laws of physics apply.
Conventional computers process information as a stream of bits, each of which can be either a zero or a one in the binary language of computing.
But quantum bits, known as qubits, can register zero and one simultaneously.
