IBM is doubling down on U.S. technology leadership with a bold $150 billion investment strategy—and quantum computing and mainframes are at the center of it. In this episode, we break down IBM’s shift from qubit counts to quality operations, the launch of quantum-centric supercomputing, and how mainframes are evolving with AI and hybrid cloud. We also explore how these moves align with national policy initiatives like the CHIPS and Science Act. From Qiskit’s growing ecosystem to the roadmap for 100,000-qubit systems, this briefing decodes how IBM is redefining the future of computing—both classical and quantum.
