2029

Realize the convergence of bits, neurons, and qubits.

We will enable the composition and dynamic deployment of enterprise applications using combinations of AI, quantum computing, and classical computing.

Why this matters for our clients and the world

Advances in AI, quantum computing, and automation will dramatically accelerate the rate of innovation, with hybrid tools decoupling business applications from computing locations, services, and providers to let enterprises speed up the creation of new products.

The technologies and innovations that will make this possible

The cloud programming model, abstractions, orchestration, and management capabilities will be expanded to support IBM Quantum systems and enable easy development and experimentation with quantum workloads by SaaS vendors.

How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners

Access to quantum computing will be seamlessly integrated into the multi-cloud environment.
