IBM releases 1,000+ qubit processor, roadmap to error correction
Company now expects useful error-corrected qubits by the end of the decade.




Insider Brief
- SAXON Q announced commercial availability of its SXQ128 and SXQ512 diamond-based NV-center quantum computing systems, which operate at room temperature without cryogenic cooling or vacuum infrastructure.
- The systems use SAXON Q’s diamond manufacturing and multi-core architecture to support quantum workloads including chemistry simulations, optimization, and quantum machine learning.
- The company says its NV-center platform is designed for scalable quantum computing deployments, with current systems available for order and future expansion toward larger architectures.
SAXON Q, a pioneer in diamond-based nitrogen-vacancy (NV) quantum computing, today announces the commercial availability of the 128-qubit SXQ128 and 512-qubit SXQ512 — the first diamond-based NV-center quantum computers to ever exceed 10 qubits.
Two previous generation SAXON Q systems are currently deployed and in active use at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Fraunhofer IWU, where researchers access them on premises or via cloud API.
The company’s quantum navigation system maintained one nautical mile positioning accuracy over the mission duration, surpassing navigation-grade GNSS backups by more than 10 times.
