Charting the path toward quantum advantage in 2026
We are now firmly in the era of quantum utility. That means quantum computers are better at quantum computing than classical computers, and can be leveraged by our users to discover new algorithms and search for quantum advantages. Our roadmap outlines our historic milestones and plans to achieve near-term quantum advantage by 2026
By 2029, we will deliver Starling—a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer capable of running quantum circuits comprising 100 million quantum gates on 200 logical qubits. We are building this system right now at our historic facility in Poughkeepsie, New York. Learn more about our progress with the explainer below.

Papers leveraging Qiskit® and IBM® Quantum services
IBM Quantum data centers in the U.S. and Europe provide global access to utility-scale quantum computers. These data centers will deliver the scale and stability needed to unlock the era of quantum advantage.
In June 2025, IBM announced the world’s first large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer will be built at our newest data center in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Read the announcementWhat is fault-tolerant quantum computing?
Quantum bits (“qubits”) are prone to errors. A fault-tolerant quantum computer detects and corrects these errors in real time so it can continue delivering accurate results. Large-scale fault tolerance is the central goal of quantum computer development.
Others have claimed fault tolerant quantum computing on small experimental devices, but these demonstrations can't be extended to useful computation. That requires fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of accurately running hundreds of millions of logical operations on hundreds or thousands of qubits. We will build such a system by 2029.
