1. Various drone exteriors of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center +MUTE+
2. Set up Daniela Bogorin, IBM Quantum Research Engineer, using biometric eye scan to enter the quantum characterization lab
3. Bogorin and Jerry Chow, IBM Fellow and Director of Quantum Infrastructure, remove the outer chamber of a quantum computer that works with a quantum dilution refrigerator to keep the IBM Heron quantum processor chip inside at near zero kelvin, the coldest temperature possible, where there is no heat or motion
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Jerry Chow, IBM Fellow and Director of Quantum Infrastructure
“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.”
5. Zoom in on a Heron quantum processor unit, QPU for short, encased in a circuit board.

“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. In fact, where we are at right now with quantum computing is in an extremely exciting period of time, and that we’re able to now have these quantum devices run quantum circuits beyond what you could actually accurately do using classical brute force computation. Now we call this we call it, we call where we are today, actually the period of quantum utility, where we really have the opportunity to leverage quantum computing to really go against the best approximate classical computing methods and find where we can actually uncover quantum advantage. This is all along a roadmap where we will continue to drive value out of the systems that we are building today, in terms of the complexity of the problems that we can address on the road, with a really concrete path towards realizing fault tolerance by 2029, with our error-corrected, fully error corrected systems, Starling in 2029 and then Bluejay in 2033.”

UPSOUND (English) "So every processor has a rack of microwave electronics that generates those pulses that executes the gate operation"

“So really, I think, you know, everyone is talking all about AI today these days. And I think the really important message to take home, though, is that quantum is part of that whole narrative. Computation is what we want to advance and improve as a whole. And that includes classical traditional computing, that includes AI and that’s going to include quantum computing as well.”
