IBM Reveals Roadmap To World's First Large-Scale, Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer In 2029

siliconANGLE, Tuesday, June 10th, 2025

IBM Corp. revealed its expected roadmap for building the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer, which would enable scaling up quantum computing for real-world practical results.

The technology giant said it expects to be able to deliver the platform in 2029. The new computing system, dubbed IBM Quantum Starling, will be built at the company's campus in Poughkeepsie, New York, and is expected to perform 20,000 times more operations than today's quantum computers.

According to the company, this new platform would require the memory of more than a quindecillion of the world's most powerful supercomputers, that's a number equal to a 1 with 48 zeros after it.
