IBM plans to build the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer named IBM Quantum Starling by 2029 in Poughkeepsie, New York.
Starling is projected to perform 20,000 times more operations than current quantum systems and will feature 200 logical qubits capable of executing 100 million quantum operations.
IBM's Quantum Roadmap includes launching IBM Quantum Loon in 2022 and introducing IBM Quantum Cockatoo in 2027 for scaling without relying on large chips.
IBM aims to address fault tolerance through qLDPC codes, reducing the number of physical qubits required by 90%, and detailing this approach in technical papers for operational efficiency.
