Common questions

What is IBM Quantum System One Kawasaki Japan?
IBM Quantum System One Kawasaki Japan is an AI data center campus tracked on the DEPLOY registry, located in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan. DEPLOY records its capacity as a dated, sourced ledger: announced gigawatts versus actually energized gigawatts, never a press-release total.
Who is building IBM Quantum System One Kawasaki Japan?
IBM is recorded as a party to IBM Quantum System One Kawasaki Japan on the DEPLOY registry. The full party list, with each role, is on the record.
Is IBM Quantum System One Kawasaki Japan operating yet?
