A quantum computer just solved a problem that would’ve taken a classical supercomputer 3.2 million years.
IBM’s new Nighthawk chip: 120 qubits, 218 couplers, 30% more complex circuits than anything they’ve built, just moved “quantum advantage” from theory to a 2026 deadline.
By 2029, the first fault tolerant quantum computer…!
