Wait, seriously? That's quite a jump from the last one I heard about.

Also: it's actually 1,121 qubits, even more impressive.

It's faster than Moore's law, but I don't know whether it can be sustained.

For years, IBM has been following a quantum-computing road map that roughly doubled the number of qubits every year. The chip unveiled on 4 December, called Condor, has 1,121 superconducting qubits arranged in a honeycomb pattern. It follows on from its other record-setting, bird-named machines, including a 127-qubit chip in 2021 and a 433-qubit one last year.
