The acquisition brings together two leading organizations with a shared commitment to advancing the frontiers of science and technology. HRL’s expertise in silicon-spin qubits complements IBM’s leadership in superconducting quantum computing. HRL also brings capabilities in quantum sensing, quantum materials, cryogenics, control electronics, packaging, and interconnect technologies that are expected to strengthen IBM’s quantum hardware roadmap and support continued innovation across the quantum technology stack. IBM continues to advance superconducting-qubit architectures through breakthroughs in hardware, error correction, software, and algorithms designed to enable increasingly capable quantum systems. IBM’s roadmap includes its fault-tolerant quantum computer IBM Quantum Starling, expected by 2029 to perform 100 million quantum operations and deliver significantly greater computational capability than today’s quantum computers. Starling is expected to be followed by Blue Jay, IBM’s next-generation fault-tolerant quantum computer, targeted for the mid-2030s. The acquisition also complements IBM’s broader innovation and investment in quantum manufacturing and infrastructure. HRL’s expertise in silicon-based quantum technologies creates opportunities for future collaboration with Anderon, IBM’s pure-play quantum wafer foundry, supporting scalable manufacturing approaches and accelerating learning cycles across multiple quantum computing modalities. Boeing and General Motors, HRL’s former owners, will continue to partner with IBM and HRL on quantum applications and advanced technology development. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
