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.
Why this matters for our clients and the world
Scaled quantum systems will allow users to run larger computations. Multiple computing resources will be seamlessly combined to optimally handle workflows and extend the computational reach of quantum systems.
The technologies and innovations that will make this possible
Intelligent orchestration will analyze workflows to identify the optimal resource allocation (QPUs, communication, and classical resources) for the task. Qiskit will orchestrate approaches to handle errors to provide noise-free outputs to the users.
How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners
The performance of our Flamingo systems will improve to allow users to run circuits with up to 10,000 gates and 1,000+ qubits.
