Fault-tolerant quantum computing may be our present goal, but it’s just part of the IBM vision for the future of computing. Quantum-centric supercomputing will lay the framework to compute with CPUs, GPUs, and QPUs together. Yet for scaling beyond our roadmap, the critical connective tissue for this vision will be networking quantum computers.
As with classical computing prior, the future of quantum-centric supercomputing requires industry-wide partnerships among a variety of vendors and research organizations, together contributing hardware, software, and knowledge. We capture our plan to build this future in our development roadmap, which charts our progress to build a computer capable of running quantum circuits with one billion operations on 2,000 qubits by 2033. However, scaling circuits to further orders of magnitude in both the numbers of operations and across qubits will require distributed quantum computing with connected systems. Beyond that, we hope to realize a…
