At CES 2019 IBM unveiled IBM Q System One, which packages a superconducting quantum processor, its cryogenics and control electronics into one sealed system meant to run outside a research lab. The system featured auto-calibrating qubits, quantum firmware for health management, and classical-quantum hybrid execution. IBM also announced it would open a quantum computation center for commercial clients in Poughkeepsie, New York.

• First integrated commercial quantum computer: processor + cryogenics + control electronics in sealed enclosure.
• 9-foot-tall, 9-foot-wide borosilicate glass enclosure designed by Map Project Office, Universal Design Studio, Goppion.
• Auto-calibrating qubits; quantum firmware enables system health management and upgrades without downtime.
• IBM Q Computation Center opening in Poughkeepsie, NY; accessible to Fortune 500 companies, startups, academic institutions, labs.
