❖ IBM quantum scientists are building a quantum computer with a 1,121-qubit processor, called Condor, inside a large dilution "super-fridge."

❖ Condor lays the groundwork for scaling to fully error-corrected, interconnected, 1-million-plus-qubit quantum computers.

❖ It serves as an innovation milestone, solving scale and informing future hardware design.

❖ In 2021, IBM will debut the 127-qubit "Eagle" chip.
