IBM Eagle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IBM Eagle is a 127-qubit quantum processor.[1][2] IBM claims that it can not be simulated by any classical computer.[3][4] It is two times bigger than China's Jiuzhang 2.[5] It was revealed on the 16th of November 2021 and is the most powerful quantum processor ever made.[6][7] It is almost twice as powerful as their last processor, the '', which had 65 quantum bits and was created in 2020.[8] IBM believes that the processes used in creating the 'Eagle', will be the backbone for their future processors.[9] Their roadmap indicates that in the year 2022 they are hoping to create a processor with 433 qubits dubbed 'Osprey', and in 2023 the 'Condor', which will have 1121 qubits.[10] They have also started development on Two, as the first one is not powerful enough to keep up with the upscaling of their processors.[11]
