2023
Introduce parallelization of quantum computations.
2023 is all about pushing speed in quantum workflows by introducing parallelization in the Qiskit Primitives.
Why this matters for our clients and the world
Today, our systems are capacity limited and user jobs can take multiple days. Efficient parallelization between QPUs and parallelization of quantum and classical resources will enable efficient near-term algorithms.
The technologies and innovations that will make this possible
Middleware will automatically distribute tasks. Serverless tools will allow users to focus on code and not the infrastructure. Expanded classical resources in Qiskit Runtime will speed up compilation and maximize the utilization of the QPUs.
How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners
Multiple 100+ qubit Eagle processors will be connected using classical communication. Ahead-of-time compilation will increase utilization of the QPUs.
