IBM Plans World's First Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer By 2029
IBM has unveiled its path to build the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer, setting the stage for practical and scalable quantum computing. Delivered by 2029, IBM Quantum Starling will be built in a new IBM Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie, New York and is expected to perform 20,000 times more operations than today's quantum computers. To represent the computational state of an IBM Starling would require the memory of more than a quindecillion (1048) of the world's most powerful supercomputers. With Starling, users will be able to fully explore the complexity of its quantum states, which are beyond the limited properties able to be accessed by current quantum computers. IBM, which already operates a large, global fleet of quantum computers, is releasing a new Quantum Roadmap that outlines its plans to build out a practical, fault-tolerant quantum computer. 'IBM is charting the next frontier in quantum computing,' said Arvind Krishna , Chairman and CEO, IBM. 'Our expertise across mathematics, physics, and engineering is paving the way for a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer — one that will solve real-world challenges and unlock immense possibilities for business.' A large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer with hundreds or thousands of logical qubits could run hundreds of millions to billions of operations, which could accelerate time and cost efficiencies in fields such as drug development, materials discovery, chemistry, and optimization. Starling will be able to access the computational power required for these problems by running 100 million quantum operations using 200 logical qubits. It will be the foundation for IBM Quantum Blue Jay, which will be capable of executing 1 billion quantum operations over 2,000 logical qubits. A logical qubit is a unit of an error-corrected quantum computer tasked with storing one qubit's worth of quantum information. It is made from multiple physical qubits working together to store this information and monitor each other for errors. Like classical computers, quantum computers need to be error corrected to run large workloads without faults. To do so, clusters of physical qubits are used to create a smaller number of logical qubits with lower error rates than the underlying physical qubits. Logical qubit error rates are suppressed exponentially with the size of the cluster, enabling them to run greater numbers of operations. Creating increasing numbers of logical qubits capable of executing quantum circuits, with as few physical qubits as possible, is critical to quantum computing at scale. Until today, a clear path to building such a fault-tolerant system without unrealistic engineering overhead has not been published. The Path to Large-Scale Fault Tolerance The success of executing an efficient fault-tolerant architecture is dependent on the choice of its error-correcting code, and how the system is designed and built to enable this code to scale. Alternative and previous gold-standard, error-correcting codes present fundamental engineering challenges. To scale, they would require an unfeasible number of physical qubits to create enough logical qubits to perform complex operations – necessitating impractical amounts of infrastructure and control electronics. This renders them unlikely to be able to be implemented beyond small-scale experiments and devices.

Today, IBM is introducing two new technical papers that detail how it will solve the above criteria to build a large-scale, fault-tolerant architecture. The first paper unveils how such a system will process instructions and run operations effectively with qLDPC codes. This work builds on a groundbreaking approach to error correction featured on the cover of Nature that introduced quantum low-density parity check (qLDPC) codes. This code drastically reduces the number of physical qubits needed for error correction and cuts required overhead by approximately 90 percent, compared to other leading codes. Additionally, it lays out the resources required to reliably run large-scale quantum programs to prove the efficiency of such an architecture over others. The second paper describes how to efficiently decode the information from the physical qubits and charts a path to identify and correct errors in real-time with conventional computing resources.

IBM Reveals Quantum Starling Launch by 2029
Home » Tech Value Chain » Global Brands » IBM Reveals Quantum Starling Launch by 2029 IBM has announced its roadmap to build the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer. The company revealed that the system, named IBM Quantum Starling, will be delivered by 2029. It will be hosted in a new IBM Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie, New York. The system is expected to perform 20,000 times more operations than current quantum computers. IBM reported that simulating a single IBM Starling state would require the memory of more than a quindecillion (10^48) top supercomputers. With Starling, users will explore quantum states far beyond what today's systems can handle. IBM also introduced a new Quantum Roadmap that outlines its plans to make practical and scalable quantum computing a reality. Arvind Krishna, Chairman and CEO of IBM, stated the company is paving the way for quantum computers that can solve real-world problems. A fault-tolerant quantum computer with hundreds or thousands of logical qubits could revolutionize industries. It may enable faster drug development, materials discovery, and more advanced optimization algorithms. IBM reported that: IBM Quantum Starling will use 200 logical qubits to perform 100 million operations. It will support the future IBM Quantum Blue Jay, which will run 1 billion operations using 2,000 logical qubits. A logical qubit stores quantum information using multiple physical qubits that correct each other's errors. This method helps reduce error rates and improves the system's reliability. Until now, building a fault-tolerant quantum computer without excessive engineering requirements was not possible. IBM's new architecture aims to change that. The company highlighted key features needed for a scalable system: Fault-tolerant structure Logical qubit preparation and measurement Real-time decoding and modular scalability IBM has also released two technical papers supporting its approach. The first paper details how qLDPC (quantum low-density parity check) codes reduce physical qubit requirements by 90%. The second paper explains how to decode quantum information efficiently using conventional computing systems. IBM's roadmap includes three new processors: IBM Quantum Loon (2025): Will test components for qLDPC, including long-distance qubit connectors. IBM Quantum Kookaburra (2026): A modular processor combining quantum memory and logic. IBM Quantum Cockatoo (2027): Will link Kookaburra modules using 'L-couplers,' enabling chip-to-chip quantum entanglement. These processors are designed to culminate in IBM Quantum Starling by 2029. IBM Quantum continues to push the boundaries of what quantum systems can achieve, focusing on practical, scalable, and error-corrected solutions.
