IBM, AMD, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Launch Quantum Error Correction Platform
The rack-based system will let engineers compare methods and test scaling as the Energy Department seeks machines with 100 logical qubits.
- On Thursday, IBM, Oak Ridge National Laboratory , and AMD unveiled a co-design platform for quantum error correction, aligning with the Energy Department's Quantum Genesis Mission to accelerate progress toward a scientifically relevant quantum computer by 2028.
- Quantum computers produce fragile, error-prone calculations, making error correction essential for practical scientific use. IBM's 120-qubit Quantum Nighthawk now co-locates with ORNL's Umbra High-Performance Computing system, powered by AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and 5th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs.
- Energy Department's Q Competition targets 100 logical qubits running 100,000 hard operations by 2028. IBM has demonstrated experiments with up to 70 logical qubits and 438 hard operations, requiring roughly a 230-fold increase in operation counts.
- Scott Crowder, VP of IBM's quantum adoption and business development, told FedScoop the platform "will help us build those systems sooner." Collaboration enables teams to co-design quantum, AI, and high-performance computing integration rather than isolated development.
- Quantum computers harness subatomic particle behavior to solve problems conventional machines cannot, supporting the Energy Department's goal to build a scientifically useful quantum computer by late 2028 and unlock complex scientific computations.

IBM, Quantinuum and Intel signal a new phase in the quantum computing race
Announcements from IBM and Quantinuum plus a recent acquisition by Intel show that the race to develop a quantum computer has shifted from focusing just on the qubits to integrating these computers with classical systems and software development platforms. To start with, IBM, AMD, and the DOE-funded Quantum Science Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are collaborating on a new research platform that pairs IBM’s 120-qubit Nighthawk quantum co…
IBM, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and AMD installed a platform in New York that connects quantum processors with high-performance supercomputers. The initiative seeks researchers to test how to accelerate error correction, a crucial task for quantum computers to tackle more complex scientific calculations.
