Last week we unveiled a full-scale model of IBM Quantum System One at Chicago O’Hare
In collaboration with @UChicago @UChicagoPME, @APSphysics & @united, this installation celebrates a milestone in quantum: the first IBM quantum computer designed for data centers.
With 60,000 daily visitors, we hope it inspires even more curiosity in quantum computing.

"Should we treat tech and software engineering as a profit center?"
I can't answer this question, but here's some food for thought.:
All but one company which was founded the past 50 years and became a top 12 company by market cap treats it as a profit center.
ALT The world’s 12 most valuable companies as of July 2022, and whether software engineering is a profit center.

Hi @Delta — I just chatted with one of your representatives about getting help on a very basic problem, which is getting back a lost stroller — but she wasn’t helpful at all, to the point that I felt her behavior to be insulting. The situation is simple - can you pls help?

At IBM we want to improve the world through quantum computing while making sure our clients and users are secure. Many know about our progress in quantum computing but just as impressive are our contributions towards quantum safe algorithms, as recognized by @NIST

I’m glad to see our quantum systems starting to be used more and more by the condensed-matter community. Check out the recent results from University of Madrid, LBNL, University of Melbourne and more investigating spin dynamics. research.ibm.com/blog/conden…

Introducing Quantum Serverless - allows users to take advantage of the best of classical and the best of quantum (qiskit runtime). As an example we showed a demonstrations using @IBMCloud Code Engine. Check out the blog research.ibm.com/blog/quantu… 7/12

A little update. Our first exploratory Falcon r8 processor - "ibm_peekskill" is alive. Happy to have 3 times the coherence in a large device and we are on a path for pushing the quality of our systems higher. quantum-computing.ibm.com/se…

You'd like to run dask code faster than on dask?
Then try to run your dask code on serverless Ray, sitting on top of IBM Code Engine. Here you can find the details and comparisons:

Run your machine learning workloads using Ray, on top of IBM Cloud Code Engine. Super-simple to deploy, and very cost-efficient to run.
You'll be up-and-running within a few mins, following these instructions: ibm.com/cloud/blog/ray-on-ib…
