IBM’s quantum volume upgrade
IBM has upgraded one of its newest 27-qubit client-deployed systems to achieve a Quantum Volume 64. The company has made a total of 28 quantum computers available over the last four years through IBM Quantum Experience. 

IBM used a new set of hardware-aware methods that are extensible and can improve any quantum circuit run on any IBM Quantum system. 

These techniques will be available in upcoming releases and improvements to the IBM Cloud software services and the cross-platform open source SDK Qiskit.
