An IBM Quantum System Two quantum computer was unveiled at its temporary home at Hyde Park Labs on November 6, part of ongoing collaboration between IBM, UChicago, the state of Illinois, and the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP), the computer’s eventual home. The first iteration of the Quantum System Two was released in December 2023, powered by the IBM Quantum Heron chip. The Chicago Quantum System Two is powered by the IBM Quantum Nighthawk, the company’s fastest quantum processor, with 120 programmable quantum bits (qubits) and a processing speed of more than 100kHz, about 25 times that of the Heron.

You inherit a substantial sum from a relative who accumulated it through practices you consider exploitative. Keeping it would improve your family's security; donating it could support people harmed by similar practices.

Can ownership be morally clean when its history is not?
