Quantum teleportation 1,200 km Earth-satellite link (2017)
Quantum teleportation transmits information, not matter, by transferring a particle’s quantum state using entanglement. In 2017 researchers teleported quantum information over 1,200 km between Earth and a satellite.
Key points
2017 teleportation of quantum information over 1,200 km via entangled photons.
Process destroys the original quantum state at the sender to reproduce it at the receiver.

Oak Ridge, IBM and AMD launch co-design platform with 120-qubit Nighthawk
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, IBM and AMD unveiled a co-design platform that pairs IBM’s 120-qubit Nighthawk processor with ORNL’s Umbra HPC system using AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and 5th Gen EPYC CPUs. The platform will support research toward DOE’s target of 100 logical qubits executing 100,000 hard operations by late 2028.
Key points
Platform integrates IBM quantum computers, including the 120-qubit Nighthawk, with ORNL’s Umbra system powered by AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and 5th Gen EPYC CPUs.
DOE goal: 100 logical qubits running 100,000 hard operations by late 2028; current IBM experiments show up to 70 logical qubits and 438 hard operations.
