IBM Roadmap to a 2029 Large-Scale, Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer

Delivered by 2029, IBM Quantum Starling will be built in a new IBM Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie, New York and is expected to perform 20,000 times more operations than today’s quantum computers. Starling will be able to access the computational power required for these problems by running 100 million quantum operations using 200 logical …

Q2B – Accurate Quantum Computation for Practically Useful Quantum Computers by 2029

Oliver Dial, IBM Fellow, is giving the keynote for Q2B 2024. He describes what is needed for practical quantum computers. IBM achieved the minimum of more accurate answers than classical (regular computers). However, they are not yet to the scale needed for practically useful problems. How much scaling? Things start getting useful with about 100 …

IBM Gamechanging Quantum Computer Error Correction in 2029 for a 5000X Quantum Leap

IBM has a new quantum computing roadmap out to 2033 but the critical turning point is around 2029 when IBM goes from error mitigation to error correction. Quantum error suppression and error mitigation is making a substantial difference now as is shown by peer reviewed work by Q-CTRL. The IBM projections seem to be guiding …

IBM NorthPole Brain Inspired Super Efficient AI Chip

Over the last eight years, IBM researcher Modha has been working on a new type of digital AI chip for neural inference, which he calls NorthPole. It’s an extension of TrueNorth, the last brain-inspired chip that Modha worked on prior to 2014. In tests on the popular ResNet-50 image recognition and YOLOv4 object detection models, …

IBMs Progress to Practical Fault Tolerant Quantum Computers

Many experts predict that practical fault tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) will require millions of physical quantum bits (qubits) but in August, 2023 IBM scientists published the discovery of new error correction codes that work with ten times fewer qubits. Practical error correction is far from a solved problem. However, these new codes and other advances …
