IBM在芝加哥启用其最先进量子计算机：落户海德公园实验室
IBM、芝加哥大学、伊利诺伊州政府与伊利诺伊量子与微电子园区（IQMP）11月6日在芝加哥共同发布：IBM Quantum System Two已在芝加哥投入运行，这是IBM在伊利诺伊州的第一台量子计算机，也是该公司目前最先进的系统。系统初期设于海德公园实验室（Hyde Park Labs）、由芝加哥大学托管，待IQMP园区建成后将迁入园区，成为其标志性设施；驱动系统的是IBM迄今最强大的量子芯片IBM Quantum Nighthawk。
IBM介绍，伊利诺伊州各地的机构已经在与IBM合作，探索量子计算如何扩展到计算难题。新系统将作为国家量子算法中心（NQAC）的锚定系统——该中心由州长J·B·普利兹克（JB Pritzker）于2024年设立、IBM为牵头成员——将带动全州由科学家、大学、国家实验室、初创企业与企业组成的生态系统，共同开发新一代算法与应用。
IBM董事长兼首席执行官阿尔温德·克里希纳（Arvind Krishna）说：「IBM很自豪部署IQMP的第一台量子计算机——IBM Quantum System Two。今天，它就能为伊利诺伊州及更广范围的机构交付科学上有用的成果。作为IBM在伊利诺伊州的第一台量子计算机，这套系统的部署是伊利诺伊量子社区的一个里程碑。」
普利兹克说：「我希望下一代突破发生在伊利诺伊州，随之而来的就业与机会造福伊利诺伊州人民。随着IBM的Quantum System Two在海德公园发布，我们正给研究人员和企业把大想法变成现实方案的工具。」IQMP首席执行官哈利·约翰逊（Harley Johnson）表示，IBM首台伊利诺伊量子计算机落户，是政府、产业与学界朝着共同愿景合作的成果；芝加哥大学校长保罗·阿利维萨托斯（Paul Alivisatos）表示，这台机器在海德公园发布，是多年伙伴关系的成果，社区居民将由此看到未来。

IBM Unveils Its Most Advanced Quantum Computer in Chicago
IBM, the University of Chicago, the State of Illinois, and Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) on November 6 unveiled an IBM Quantum System Two in Chicago, IBM's first quantum computer in Illinois and the company's most advanced system available. Initially located at Hyde Park Labs and hosted by the University of Chicago, the system is fueled by IBM Quantum Nighthawk, the most powerful quantum chip IBM has ever built, and will be a prominent fixture of IQMP upon the site's completion.
Today, organizations across Illinois are already working with IBM to explore how quantum computing can scale to computationally difficult challenges. As the anchor system of the National Quantum Algorithm Center (NQAC), which was established in 2024 by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker with IBM as a leading member, the new quantum computer aims to catalyze the state's robust ecosystem of scientists, universities, national laboratories, startups, and enterprises collaborating within IQMP to develop the next generation of algorithms and applications.
"IBM is proud to deploy our first quantum computer of IQMP — an IBM Quantum System Two. Today, it can deliver scientifically useful results to organizations across the state of Illinois and beyond," said Arvind Krishna, Chairman and CEO, IBM. "As IBM's first quantum computer in Illinois, the system's deployment marks a milestone for Illinois' quantum community and builds on IBM's partnerships across the state as we expand quantum research across academia and industries."
"I want the next generation of breakthroughs to happen in Illinois and the jobs and opportunity that come with them to benefit the people of Illinois," said Governor JB Pritzker. "With the unveiling of IBM's Quantum System Two in Hyde Park, we are giving researchers and businesses the tool to turn big ideas into real-world solutions."
"The presence of IBM's first quantum computer in Illinois, the company's most advanced system available, is a testament to what's possible when partners across government, industry and academia work together toward a shared vision," said Harley Johnson, CEO of the IQMP. University of Chicago President Paul Alivisatos said the deployment represents the culmination of a years-long partnership that brought together academia, government, and private industry.
