Now online, the IBM quantum system will expand the longstanding RPI and IBM partnership to accelerate quantum computing research, workforce development, and education in New York

Today, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and IBM (NYSE:IBM)officially unveiled the world's first-ever IBM quantum computer on a university campus. Building on RPI's bicentennial celebration of 200 years of firsts, IBM Quantum System One will significantly enhance educational and research opportunities for the university, as well as with other academic institutions and organizations across the New York region that wish to partner with RPI. Faculty, researchers, students, and collaborators accessing the system will aim to advance quantum computing research, including the search for quantum algorithms that could lead to quantum advantage, while also actively building the next generation of the quantum workforce alongside IBM.
