D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced a new gate-model technology roadmap to accelerate the development of commercial, fault-tolerant quantum computing. The plan leverages the company's dual-rail qubit architecture and outlines a multi-year path to developing a system with 100 logical qubits capable of performing over one million operations.
Key Details
- Ultimate Goal (2032): Deliver a 100-logical-qubit system capable of performing over one million operations, designed to support initial quantum chemistry and AI applications.
- Key Technical Milestones: The roadmap includes the completion of a 181-physical-qubit system by 2028, which is described as the scalable blueprint for fault-tolerant architectures, and a 10-logical-qubit system by 2030.
- Near-Term Target (2026): The company plans to deliver a 17-physical-qubit system that supports logical error rates two times lower than physical error rates.
