53-qubit Rochester Device. This 53-qubit quantum computing system offers a larger lattice and gives users the ability to run even more complex entanglement and connectivity experiments. This configuration is for the IBM Q Network. Quantum computers are based on quantum mechanics and the principle of representing information using quantum properties, storing and manipulating data in units known as qubits, the basic unit of quantum information. This has the potential to massively increase computing power. Image published in September 2019.
