IBM files for new quantum computing facility in Poughkeepsie, New York
IBM has filed plans to develop a 511,000 sq ft quantum computing facility at its existing campus in Poughkeepsie, New York, to manufacture its next-generation Starling quantum systems. The new building will create 200 jobs and is expected to house Starling, a large-scale quantum computer capable of running 100 million quantum operations using 200 logical qubits.
IBM is planning to develop a 511,000 sq ft quantum computing facility at its existing campus in Poughkeepsie, New York. The company will demolish two existing buildings with a total floorspace of 161,000 sq ft to establish the new center. The new building will be used to manufacture and assemble IBM's next-generation Starling quantum systems. Starling is expected to perform 20,000 times more operations than today's quantum computers and will be capable of running 100 million quantum operations using 200 logical qubits. The facility is expected to create 200 jobs once operational. IBM needs to conduct various studies and secure environmental permits before proceeding with the project.
