IBM Quantum System Two
Quantum Computer
IBM Quantum System Two is the most powerful quantum computer in the world. Given the growth trajectory of quantum computing, modularity was one of the driving factors. We needed to craft a design that allowed the system to grow physically. Our approach was to create monolithic forms with subtle breaks that hint at this modularity. We also imbued the design with moments of familiarity and warmth – for example with design elements that would connect System Two to its predecessor and benefit its users.
iF Gold Statement
The IBM Quantum System Two exemplifies a seamless fusion of innovation and functionality. Its modular design allows for future growth, with subtle breaks in the monolithic form hinting at scalability. The architecture is both visually striking and highly efficient. Familiar elements in the design create a strong connection to its predecessor, enhancing the user experience while positioning the system for the future.
