IBM has initiated a plan to lead the next era of quantum computing by announcing that it will develop the world’s first fault-tolerant quantum computer . This initiative will take place at IBM’s recently opened quantum data center in Poughkeepsie, New York.
The first error-correcting quantum computer
The company’s goal is to build a quantum computer composed of 100,000 qubits by 2033. This scale, never before achieved, will make it possible to implement error-correction systems at the modular level, which will mark a point of inflexion in scalable quantum computing.

This ecosystem will enable the execution of complex quantum algorithms that today cannot be solved with classical supercomputing.
The new quantum data center will house the most advanced processors and at the same time act as a base for providing remote access to quantum systems from the cloud. This will accelerate the adoption of quantum computing in sectors such as scientific research, pharmaceuticals and logistics optimization.
On the other hand, the company is working together with academic centers and industrial partners to achieve this goal within the next decade. In addition, its roadmap envisages progressive advances in quantum architectures, improvements in the quality of cubits and the development of specialized quantum software.

This announcement consolidates IBM as one of the most influential players in the race to achieve a functional and reliable quantum system. The ability to operate systems with autonomous error-correcting capabilities will radically change the capabilities for analysis, modeling and solving complex problems on a global scale.
