IBM's Trading Volume Drops 26.34% Ranking 68th as Quantum Computing Ambitions Soar

On June 12, 2025, IBM's trading volume reached $960 million, a 26.34% decrease from the previous day, ranking 68th in the day's stock market. IBM's stock price fell by 0.17%.

IBM has announced its ambitious plan to build the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer, named Quantum Starling. This groundbreaking project aims to revolutionize quantum computing by addressing the core challenge of qubit reliability. The company has outlined a detailed roadmap to develop this advanced system, which is expected to perform 100 million quantum operations using 200 logical qubits. The Quantum Starling is set to be operational by 2029, marking a significant milestone in the field of quantum computing.

IBM's strategy involves a pragmatic approach to chip design, focusing on building feasible chips first and then developing error-correction methods around them. This shift in strategy has allowed IBM to confidently roll out a series of increasingly advanced systems through 2027, paving the way for much larger quantum machines. The upcoming IBM Quantum Nighthawk processor, expected to launch later this year, is a key component of this effort. This processor will play a crucial role in advancing IBM's quantum computing capabilities and bringing the company closer to its goal of building the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer.
