Keynote: It’s Not Just the Qubits
summary
IBM claims current machines at 50 qubits with prototypes scaling toward 160+ and stresses quality over raw count; chemistry and materials design are the nearest promising applications, while cryptography breakage needs on the order of 100 million qubits so “quantum apocalypse” is decades away. IBM offers cloud access (free 5- and 16-qubit devices), reports ~100,000 users, ~130 papers and ~6.7M runs, runs at ~15 millikelvin, and publishes software stacks like Qiskit and OpenPulse for low-level pulse control.
