IBM's flagship quantum processor featuring a modular architecture with classical communication between chips. Heron achieves 99.5% two-qubit gate fidelity, a significant improvement over the previous Eagle processor. IBM plans to connect multiple Heron chips to build systems with 100,000+ qubits by 2033 via the 'Starling' and 'Blue Jay' systems.
