Atom Computing Quantum Computer Breaks 1,000-Qubit Barrier

DataCenter Knowledge, Wednesday, November 1,2023

The array sets a new record for universal gate-based quantum computers.

Quantum startup Atom Computing has created a 1,225-site atomic array in its next-generation quantum computing platform, making it the first quantum computer to exceed 1,000 qubits.

The array is currently populated with 1,180 qubits, a new record for a universal gate-based quantum computer, more than double that of IBM's Osprey system, which has 433 qubits.

IBM plans to release its 1,122-qubit Condor system later this year, around the same time Atom plans to make its new platform available.
