IBM Nighthawk r2 runs 100,000 quantum circuits per second, hitting a key 2026 roadmap target ahead of schedule

3+ day, 16+ hour ago   (463+ words) Nighthawk r2 departs from conventional conditional reset techniques. In previous processor generations, quantum circuits relied on conditional resets using π-pulses and measurement cycles, requiring idle times of hundreds of microseconds between executions to prevent state leakage. Instead, it uses a dissipative…...
