IBM to Acquire HRL Laboratories to Scale Silicon-Spin Quantum Computing

By IBM NewsroomJuly 23, 2026

AI Summary

IBM is acquiring HRL Laboratories to integrate silicon-spin qubit technology into its long-term quantum hardware roadmap.

IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire HRL Laboratories, LLC (HRL), a premier research and development institution. Based in Malibu, California, HRL is currently a private company jointly owned by aerospace giant Boeing and automotive leader General Motors. Following the transaction, both Boeing and GM will continue to partner with IBM on quantum applications and advanced technology development.

HRL’s expertise in silicon-spin qubit engineering is expected to complement IBM's existing superconducting qubit roadmap. As IBM seeks to scale quantum systems into the next decade, HRL’s knowledge of silicon-based platforms and high-speed electronics provides a new pathway for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. This acquisition aligns with IBM’s broader strategy to diversify its quantum modalities and enhance its manufacturing capabilities.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, and the transaction is expected to close by the end of Q3 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals. The move follows IBM's recent establishment of Anderon, the world's first pure-play quantum wafer foundry, earlier this year. IBM officials noted that HRL's capabilities will support future systems such as the 'IBM Quantum Starling' and 'Blue Jay' platforms, which target millions and billions of quantum operations respectively.
