IBM has announced its first quantum computing processor that exceeds 1,000 qubits, or quantum bits. That makes it the second-largest chip ever made, but researchers are far more excited about one that's a tenth that size.
The 1,121-qubit IBM Quantum Condor chip is built on the architecture of its previous flagship, the 127-qubit Eagle chip. In size, it is just shy of the record holder, a 1,125-qubit machine unveiled by the company Atom in October.
