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.
Why this matters for our clients and the world
Qiskit Primitives with error mitigation will provide the foundation platform where algorithm and application developers can focus on the workflows and get the best quality out of the quantum hardware.
The technologies and innovations that will make this possible
Built-in error mitigation will automatically determine the best method to reduce the effect of noise. Transpiler services will optimally rewrite circuits for hardware, taking advantage of AI. Watson Code Assistant will help users write Qiskit code to program quantum systems.
How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners
Multiple higher-quality 100+ qubit Heron processors will be connected using classical communication.
