IBM demonstrated a breakthrough in quantum computing architecture by successfully connecting two modular cryogenic blocks into a single ultra-cold environment. This «super refrigerator» design provides up to 12 times more space for wiring compared to current quantum systems, enabling far more connections between processor blocks. The company plans to later integrate Nighthawk processors and aim for a system with at least 1,000 programmable qubits by 2027, with the ultimate goal of the Starling system (around 200 logical qubits with quantum error correction) by 2029.
