IBM Connects Ultralow-Temperature Quantum Modules Using L-Couplers
IBM connected two large ultracold cryogenic quantum modules to clear an engineering hurdle toward a larger quantum computer. Each module’s vacuum enclosure provides up to 12x wiring space and uses IBM’s L-coupler technology to link chips and share information. IBM plans to install Quantum Nighthawk processors later this year and targets at least 1,000 programmable qubits by 2027.
