Google, IBM Optimistic on Practical Quantum Computers by 2030

In the rapidly evolving field of quantum computing, executives at Google and IBM are expressing unprecedented optimism about achieving a practical, large-scale quantum computer by the end of the decade. Recent technical breakthroughs have shifted the narrative from theoretical promise to tangible progress, with both companies pointing to advancements in error correction and qubit scalability as key enablers. According to a report in the Financia…

Google and IBM Believe First Workable Quantum Computer is in Sight

IBM and Google report they will build industrial-scale quantum computers containing one million or more qubits by 2030, following IBM's June publication of a quantum computer blueprint addressing previous design gaps and Google's late-2023 breakthrough in scaling error correction. Current experimental systems contain fewer than 200 qubits. IBM encountered crosstalk interference when scaling its Condor chip to 433 qubits and subsequently adopted…
