IBM unveils Quantum Nighthawk r3 design targeting 520 programmable qubitsMachine translation

IBM has unveiled its Quantum Nighthawk r3 superconducting processor design, targeting 10,000 accurate quantum operations across 520 programmable qubits, and plans to link two chips into a 1,040-qubit system in 2027. The r3 is not yet shipping; the r2, available on IBM Quantum Platform, runs more than 100,000 circuits per second, about 25 times Heron’s rate, according to IBM’s reported figures.
