300 mm IBM Quantum Loon wafer
On November 12, 2025, at the Quantum Developer Conference held in New York, IBM announced several key achievements: the brand new Nighthawk quantum processor, experimental quantum chipLoon architecture, updated Qiskit software stack, and the first community quantum performance tracker.
This series of initiatives outlines a clear path for IBM towards “verifiable quantum advantage”, and clarifies its plan to achieve quantum advantage by 2026, and to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2029.
