Quantum computing is no longer defined by isolated qubit milestones. The conversation has moved to system architecture, error correction overhead, cryogenic integration, and how quantum processors coordinate with classical high-performance computing in real time. Demonstrating a high-fidelity device is one step. Engineering a full-stack platform that can be orchestrated, scaled, and trusted in production environments is another challenge entirely.
That is where Dr.Jerry M. Chow Chow, CTO of Quantum-centric Supercomputing at IBM and IBM Fellow, has concentrated his work. At the Quantum Computing Infra Summit 2026, he will speak to the realities of building quantum systems that operate as part of a broader computational architecture. Through IBM Quantum, he leads the strategy for integrating superconducting quantum processors with classical infrastructure, aligning hardware, control electronics, and software into a unified system.
Rather than treating quantum processors as standalone machines, IBM’s approach centers on quantum-centric supercomputing, where modular processors, cryogenic engineering, and classical resources are co-designed from the outset. The goal is not just experimental performance, but reliability, orchestration, and a clear path toward fault-tolerant systems capable of running meaningful workloads.
The discussion will dig into:
• How quantum and classical resources are architected to function as a coordinated computing platform
• Why error correction and modular design are foundational to scalability
• What system-level engineering decisions today mean for utility-scale quantum computing tomorrow
For engineers, researchers, and operators thinking beyond lab demonstrations, this session centers on the infrastructure choices that will determine whether quantum computing becomes a durable, enterprise-ready industry.

Quantum advantage will not emerge from hardware alone. It will come from disciplined system design across the entire computing stack.
