And now it's done it. At this year's CES, IBM is announcing the Q System One, impressively billing it as "the world's first integrated universal approximate quantum computing system designed for scientific and commercial use."

The system contains a fourth-generation 20-qubit machine and boasts a modular and compact design with stability, reliability and continuous commercial in mind. This means - for the first time ever - universal approximate superconducting quantum computers can operate beyond the confines of the research lab.

"The IBM Q System One is a major step forward in the commercialization of quantum computing," swooned Arvind Krishna, senior vice president of Hybrid Cloud and director of IBM Research.

IBM's quantum computing ambitions get exponential like Moore's Law

https://www.cnet.com/news/ibms-quantum-computing-ambitions-get-exponential-like-moores-law/

The course it's charting aims to double performance each year so quantum computers can achieve what Big Blue calls quantum advantage, in which quantum computers are faster or more efficient at a task than a classical computer or accomplish something a classical computer simply can't.

Now, with machines like its Q System One, IBM has not only proposed a convenient single number to calibrate a speedometer but also laid out an ambitious dotted line stretching across a road map into the future.

If IBM's idea catches on with other quantum computing companies like Microsoft, Google and Rigetti Computing, it could give people who don't have a Ph.D. in quantum physics a better idea about progress in this difficult subject.
"To achieve quantum advantage in the 2020s, we need to at least double quantum volume every year," IBM researchers Jay Gambetta and Sarah Sheldon said in a statement.

The Quantum Revolution Is Coming, Ready Or Not
March 12, 2019

It’s not just blockchain but every technology, from cyber and space satellites to driverless cars, the smart grid, 5G [...] and the entire Internet of Things, that will have to be ready to deal with the quantum factor

But how soon is the change coming? That’s the subject of the second article that got my attention, at ZDNet. It came with the headline, “IBM hits quantum computing milestone, may see 'Quantum Advantage' in 2020.”
So there it is. Large-scale quantum computers, which seemed like a fantasy only a couple years ago, now loom ahead in the 2020’s.

Quantum Advantage, by the way, is when a quantum computer is able to perform certain designed tasks faster and more efficiently than a conventional computer, even a super computer.

The bottom line is, the quantum revolution is coming, and if our financial industry and companies who do cybersecurity insurance have been slow in getting the message, the federal government isn’t, at least not any more.

IBM To Build Europe’s First Quantum Computer In Germany
March 16, 2020
https://www.silicon.co.uk/workspace/ibm-quantum-germany-336017

IBM is to build Europe’s first quantum computer in Germany, allowing companies to access the experimental technology without needing to send sensitive data across the Atlantic.

IBM said it would build one of its Q System One machines at the state-backed Fraunhofer Institute near Stuttgart from early 2021, with research labs to be set up around it.
Q System One
IBM calls the Q System One the world’s first “commercial” quantum computer, though it is still used primarily for research purposes.
The German government has pledged 650 million euros (£580m of investment into quantum computing and said the technology is relevant to security policy in areas such as cryptography.
