Of particular interest was the claim by a couple of the interviewees that there are currently no obvious barriers to scaling up current devices by any factors - in the context of less than a decade.

The 60 Minutes article said that IBM would be announcing a new qubit device on Monday (yesterday).
On Monday, a Nature article was publish describing the new IBM device.

The chip unveiled on 4 December, called Condor, has 1,121 superconducting qubits arranged in a honeycomb pattern. It follows on from its other record-setting, bird-named machines, including a 127-qubit chip in 2021 and a 433-qubit one last year.
