IBM NOW DESCRIBING ITS FIRST ERROR-RESISTANT QUANTUM COMPUTE SYSTEM

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

IBM has released plans for a quantum compute system that can perform 100 million operations without errors on a collection of 200 logical qubits. The hardware, which will be called Starling, will be available for use in 2029. While the system will be able to handle some problems, it will not be enough to perform the complex algorithms needed to do things like break encryptions - that would require waiting for IBM's Blue Jay, a system with 2,000 logical qubits the company expects to build by 2033.
