IBM has successfully linked and cooled down the first operational modules of a scalable cryogenic system designed to support its fault-tolerant quantum computing mission. Connected together at an IBM Quantum facility in New York, the quantum fridges form IBM's first realization of the modular, shared, and ultra-cold environment required to operate multiple quantum processors. This milestone advances IBM's path to building IBM Quantum Starling, which is expected to be the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer.
