IBM has successfully combined and cooled two cryogenic quantum modules to below 15 millikelvin, enabling the linking of hundreds of quantum chips. This breakthrough supports IBM's roadmap to deliver the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer, named IBM Quantum Starling, by 2029. The new modular system allows for more chip connections and faster cooling, with plans to expand to thousands of qubits per module. This advance marks a key step in overcoming engineering challenges for scalable quantum computing, promising faster innovation and more powerful quantum processors in the near future.
