IBM has revealed two new quantum computers that together represent a breakthrough in next-generation computing, and could ultimately change technology as we know it.

The company announced the computers today at the IBM Quantum Summit, which is ongoing in New York.

The IBM Quantum Heron is a series of high performance processors with the lowest error rate on any IBM quantum facility so far, while the IBM Quantum System Two is a modular supercomputing architecture. Both systems represent a significant milestone toward achieving the tech giant's ambition to develop next-generation quantum supercomputers in the next decade.

"We are firmly within the era in which quantum computers are being used as a tool to explore new frontiers of science," Dario Gil, IBM SVP and Director of Research, said in a statement.

Ultimately, IBM says the technology will be put "into the hands of our users and partners who will push the boundaries of more complex problems."

Quantum computing is a tech holy grail the idea is that being able to perform multitudes of computations all at once will radically transform scientific research and lead to rapid breakthroughs in drug discovery, climate forecasting, material science and more.

But first, IBM has to prove that quantum computers can match the high expectations both scientists and industry stakeholders have for them.

Its going to take a while before we go from scientific value to, lets say, business value, Jay Gambetta, IBMs vice-president of quantum told the Financial Times on Monday.

But in my opinion the difference between research and commercialization is getting tighter.
