Abstract:

IBM Quantum continues to make major strides in expanding access to quantum computing and bringing it closer to real-world use. Recent updates highlight advances in both hardware performance and software integration, allowing users to work more efficiently between classical and quantum systems. IBM is also broadening global access through improved learning resources and open-source tools like Qiskit, helping students, researchers, and developers explore quantum computing more easily.

In the past year, IBM has deployed several new quantum systems across the world, expanding its global quantum network. The latest Heron-series processors, such as the 156-qubit IBM Quantum Heron R2 systems, are now operational in multiple locations, including Europe, the United States, and Japan. A notable milestone was the installation of a Heron-based system at RIKEN in Japan, marking the first IBM Quantum System Two outside the U.S. These deployments are enabling closer collaboration between quantum and classical high-performance computing centers, accelerating algorithm development and real-world experimentation.

Altogether, these updates mark an important step toward making quantum technology practical, collaborative, and accessible to everyone.

BIO:

Dr. Piotr Biskupski is an IBM Quantum Ambassador who was instrumental in establishing the first Polish Quantum Innovation Center, providing key technical and business support to promote the commercial and educational application of quantum technologies. As part of the Polish IBM Quantum Ambassadors group, he is actively engaged in advancing the development and adoption of quantum-safe cryptography and quantum-ready solutions across academia and industry.

Since 2012, Dr. Biskupski has collaborated with international partners and multidisciplinary technical teams to support innovation and the responsible use of emerging technologies. A long-time coordinator of the IBM Academic Initiative and advocate of open-source collaboration, he has delivered numerous lectures and workshops at universities in Poland and abroad.

Since 2023, he has been affiliated with the Naval Academy’s Department of Navigation and Ship Armament, where he coordinates IBM collaborations in artificial intelligence and quantum technology. Combining professional experience with academic engagement, Dr. Biskupski continues to inspire the next generation of researchers and innovators in the fields of quantum computing and quantum-safe technologies.

The meeting is organized by the Fundacja Quantum AI and QPoland.
