IBM is to release a 20-qubit quantum computer and also claims to have has successfully built a 50-qubit prototype. The 20-qubit computer is IBM's first commercial quantum offering and will be available by the end of the year. Its launch is something of a leap for IBM, as the company began offering its quantum computing as a cloud service with a 5 qubit computer only 18 months ago. It remains unclear when the 50-qubit version may become available.
