IBM Unveils Decade-Long Quantum Computing Roadmap

New Quantum Heron Processor and Innovations to Qiskit Software Announced

IBM has unveiled its new quantum computing roadmap, which includes a detailed plan to build an error-corrected quantum computer by the end of the decade.
The roadmap reveals IBM's quantum computing plans for the next decade, including the development of methods and architectures necessary for the eventual error-corrected scaling of quantum machines.
IBM's hardware roadmap details how qubits and chip-level innovations can progressively achieve longer coherence times, better error suppression, and greater scalability.
IBM has also announced the Quantum Heron processor, its highest performing quantum processor to date, with 133 qubits and significant improvements in qubit quality and error rates.
IBM is developing new innovations to its Qiskit quantum programming software, which will benefit from the power of generative AI, simplifying the developer experience.
