IBM Eagle is a 127-

qubit In quantum computing, a qubit () or quantum bit is a basic unit of quantum information—the quantum version of the classic binary bit physically realized with a two-state device. A qubit is a two-state (or two-level) quantum-mechanical system, ...

quantum processor Quantum computing is a type of computation whose operations can harness the phenomena of quantum mechanics, such as superposition, interference, and entanglement. Devices that perform quantum computations are known as quantum computers. Thoug ...

. IBM claims that it can not be simulated by any classical computer. It is two times bigger than China's Jiuzhang 2. It was revealed on the 16th of November 2021 and was claimed to be the most powerful quantum processor ever made until November 2022, when the IBM Osprey overtook it with 433 qubits. It is almost twice as powerful as their last processor, the '

Hummingbird Hummingbirds are birds native to the Americas and comprise the biological family Trochilidae. With about 361 species and 113 genera, they occur from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, but the vast majority of the species are found in the tropics ar ...

', which had 65 quantum bits and was created in 2020. IBM believes that the processes used in creating the 'Eagle', will be the backbone for their future processors. Their roadmap indicates that in 2023 the 'Condor' will be released with 1,121 qubits.{{Cite web, date=2021-02-09, title=IBM's roadmap for scaling quantum technology, url=https://research.ibm.com/blog/ibm-quantum-roadmap, access-date=2022-01-13, website=IBM Research Blog, language=en They have also started development on IBM Quantum System Two, as the first one ( IBM Quantum System One) is not powerful enough to keep up with the upscaling of their processors.
