Wait, seriously? That's quite a jump from the last one I heard about.
Also: it's actually 1,121 qubits, even more impressive.
Isn't that also quite the small form factor? I still had the fridge sized copper monstrosities in mind when thinking of quantum computers
I may be mistaken but the fridge sized copper monstrosity is the system that cool the quantum chip, so unless they miniaturized the cooling system it didn't change.
Yeah, from my understanding, the chip itself is about the same size as a CPU chip.
