Anderon — America's first quantum chip foundry
2026-05IBM is spinning off Anderon, a $2B (≈$1B CHIPS Act + $1B IBM) 300mm superconducting-qubit wafer fab in Albany, NY — open to other quantum vendors as a neutral 'TSMC for quantum.'
Superconducting-qubit pioneer with a public roadmap; built the 1,121-qubit Condor.

IBM is spinning off Anderon, a $2B (≈$1B CHIPS Act + $1B IBM) 300mm superconducting-qubit wafer fab in Albany, NY — open to other quantum vendors as a neutral 'TSMC for quantum.'
IBM pledged more than $10B over five years — R&D, capex, manufacturing and M&A — to fund its roadmap toward the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029.
IBM demonstrated the world's first sub-1nm (0.7nm / 7Å "nanostack") logic transistor architecture, experimentally validated at the 2026 VLSI Symposium with functional CMOS inverters and ~100B transistors on a fingernail-sized die. A research milestone — not a product: IBM is still scaling 2nm and sees production as early as ~5 years out. (Aggregator coverage conflated this with the separate 'Anderon' quantum-chip foundry plan.)
