2024
Expand the utility of quantum computing.
Demonstrate accurate execution of a quantum circuit at a scale beyond exact classical simulation. (5K gates on 156 qubits)
Why this matters for our clients and the world
We have created a platform where algorithm and application developers can develop candidate circuits at utility scale.
The technologies and innovations that will make this possible
Developed and deployed Qiskit Functions with our partners to deliver domain specific applications at utility scale. Used AI to develop advanced classical transpilation methods. Demonstrated with partners a prototype quantum-centric supercomputer operating at utility scale.
How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners
The Heron processor capable of running 5,000 gates on 133 qubits will be delivered through the IBM Quantum Platform.
