2023
Introduce parallelization of quantum computations.
2023 is all about pushing speed in quantum workflows by introducing parallelization in the Qiskit Primitives.
2024
Expand the utility of quantum computing.
We will improve the quality and speed of quantum circuits to allow running 5,000 gates with parametric circuits.
2025
Demonstrate quantum- centric supercomputing.
In 2025, we will enhance the quality of quantum circuits to allow running 7,500 gates and bring together modular processors, middleware, and quantum communication to demonstrate the first quantum-centric supercomputer.
2027
Scale quantum computing.
We will scale qubits, electronics, infrastructure, and software to reduce footprint, cost, and energy usage. The quality of quantum circuits will improve to allow running 10,000 gates.
2029
Deliver a fully error-corrected system.
We will bring users a quantum system with 200 qubits capable of running 100 milion gates.
2030+
Deliver quantum-centric supercomputers with 1,000’s of logical qubits.
Beyond 2033, quantum-centric supercomputers will include thousands of qubits capable of running 1 billion gates, unlocking the full power of quantum computing.
