Quantum news, hot off the feeds. Welcome to Tech After Dark, I'm Nova, here with Glitch. I B M just announced its next quantum processor, the Nighthawk r3. Ooh, okay. TechPowerUp says the r3's built to accurately run 10,000 quantum operations across 520 qubits! Down, Glitch. A qubit's the basic unit a quantum computer works with, and I B M says more of them lets it take on bigger, messier problems.

More? Yes please. I B M plans to scale beyond 1,000 qubits in 2027. No ship date for the r3 yet, though. So what's it mean for you? Nothing to buy, but I B M's quantum roadmap keeps growing. That's from TechPowerUp, full post linked, more as it comes in, see you next time.
