HRL brings expertise in silicon-spin qubit engineering, quantum sensing, advanced materials, and related hardware infrastructure that will complement IBM's existing superconducting qubit program. Boeing and GM will continue collaborating with IBM post-acquisition. The deal supports IBM's long-term quantum roadmap, including the IBM Quantum Starling system targeted for 2029 (20,000x more powerful than current systems) and the Blue Jay system in the mid-2030s. HRL's capabilities also align with Anderon, IBM's newly announced quantum wafer foundry. The transaction is expected to close by end of Q3 2026, with financial terms undisclosed. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
