•To date, IBM has deployed over 90 quantum systems, including more quantum computers than reported by all other industry players combined. The company has also built a global client and partner ecosystem spanning more than 325 Fortune 500 companies, startups, universities, and government agencies already using IBM’s global fleet of quantum computers to tackle scientific challenges across chemistry, biology, materials science, and more.
•This $10B investment announcement follows last week’s Letter of Intent between IBM and the Department of Commerce to build an American quantum chip foundry (Anderon) to accelerate American quantum innovation.
