Release News: Qiskit V2.4 Is Here!
IBM, Monday, April 20th, 2026
Technical release summary for Qiskit SDK v2.4, including updates on top new features, performance improvements, and our ongoing efforts to make Qiskit ready for fault-tolerant compilation.
We're excited to announce the release of Qiskit SDK v2.4! The latest minor release in the v2.x series continues our efforts to strengthen the SDK's core infrastructure-making it faster, more extensible, and more practical to use as circuits grow larger and compilation workflows become more sophisticated.
Over the past several releases, we've been laying the groundwork for deeper integrations with compiled languages, higher-performance compilation pathways, and more scalable internal tooling. Qiskit v2.4 builds directly on that foundation by consolidating and extending existing capabilities in each of these areas and beyond.
