Our roadmap to advance useful quantum computing
We are now firmly in the era of quantum utility. That means quantum computers are better at quantum computing than classical computers, and can be leveraged by our users to discover new algorithms and search for quantum advantages. Our extended roadmap articulates our plan to make quantum computers more useful, as we progress toward quantum-centric supercomputing.
To enable users to run utility-scale workloads, we are focused on increasing the qubits on our quantum computers as well as a metric called “gate operations”—a measure of the scale of workloads that a quantum computer can run.
Our roadmap has two sections to track this complex mission. The development roadmap details major releases and the innovation roadmap outlines the technology milestones required to deliver them. Learn more about our progress with the guided explainer below.
