IBM Quantum System Two is the first modular utility-scaled quantum computer system, unveiled by IBM on December 4, 2023.{{Citation |title=Unveiling IBM Quantum System Two | date=4 December 2023 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qndz54SGCAs |access-date=2023-12-22 |language=en}}

It is a successor to the IBM Quantum System One.

It contains three IBM Quantum Heron processors, which can be scaled up due to its modularity, and later upgraded for newer QPU's, as it is fully upgradeable.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2023-12-18 |title=IBM advances quantum computing developments with innovations |url=https://backendnews.net/ibm-advances-quantum-computing-developments-with-innovations/ |access-date=2023-12-23 |website=Back End News |language=en-US}}

For its maximum efficiency, it has to be cooled down to a temperature of a few hundredths of degrees above absolute zero (10-20 mK),{{Cite web |last=Freund |first=Karl |title=IBM Launches Quantum System Two And A Roadmap To Quantum Advantage |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/karlfreund/2023/12/04/ibm-launches-quantum-system-two-and-a-roadmap-to-quantum-advantage/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=Forbes |language=en}} using dilution technology.

Current usage

IBM has stated that their clients and partners are using their 100+ qubit systems to advance science.

Future

IBM has stated that their quantum coupling technology will allow multiple IBM Quantum System Two units to connect together, to create systems capable of running 100 million operations in a single quantum circuit, and later a billion operations, by 2033.
