#CES | IBM introduced its first quantum computer mass production
Source:
IBM introduced its first commercial quantum computer for use outside the laboratory. 20-Cubana the system combines in one box the quantum and classical computing components needed to use these machines for research and business applications. Of course, this box — IBM Q — still huge, but it includes everything you need companies to start experimenting with quantum computing, including mechanisms to cool the equipment.

IBM is ready to produce quantum computers
Although IBM describes it as the first fully integrated universal system for quantum computation, designed for scientific and commercial use, it is worth mentioning that the 20-Cubana machine is not so powerful for most commercial applications that people expect to see in the future with computers with a large number of qubits — qubits that will be useful for more than 100 microseconds. It is not surprising that IBM stresses that this is the first attempt and that the system "will one day solve the problems that we see today are too complex and exponential in nature in order to be able to solve the classical system".
At the moment we are not ready, but the company promises to update and maintain the system.
"IBM Q System One is an important step forward in the commercialization of quantum computing," says Arvind Krishna, senior Vice President Hybrid Could and Director of IBM Research. "This new system is critical for the expansion of quantum computing behind the walls of a research lab as we work to create a virtually quantum applications for business and science".
Most IBM, it seems, is proud of the design of the system Q. In response to the Cray supercomputers, IBM has worked with Map Project Office and Universal Design Studio, as well as with Goppion, the company that built, among other things, showcase, showcasing the British crown jewels and the Mona Lisa. Certainly IBM sees in the system Q art. This airtight box with height 3 and width 3 meters, the center of which hangs a chandelier for quantum computing, all the details of which are tucked away neatly.
