2029

Deliver a fully error-corrected system.

We will bring users a quantum system with 200 qubits capable of running 100 milion gates.

Why this matters for our clients and the world

Users will be able to run large-scale problems using high-rate quantum error correction.

The technologies and innovations that will make this possible

A novel and efficient error correction code will extend the computational reach of quantum resources. The system will have low-level dedicated classical hardware and a compiler for quantum-centric supercomputing.

How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners

The Starling system will be available to clients. It will be a modular, error-corrected quantum-centric supercomputer with 200 qubits capable of running a total of 100 million gates.
