IBM announces new quantum processor, plan for Starling supercomputer by 2029
- IBM plans to launch Quantum Starling, a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer with 200 logical qubits in Poughkeepsie, New York by 2029.
- This development follows IBM's progress on quantum low-density parity-check codes that reduce overhead by up to 90 percent and enable fault tolerance.
- Quantum Starling will execute 100 million gate operations and surpass current models by 20,000 times while requiring about 10,000 physical qubits for error correction.
- IBM vice president Jay Gambetta expressed that expanding quantum computing capabilities now primarily involves overcoming engineering obstacles instead of fundamental scientific problems, highlighting progress in error correction methods.
- This roadmap implies IBM will enable practical, scalable quantum computing, opening possibilities for complex applications and positioning itself to develop an even larger system called Blue Jay by 2033.

The American IT company wants to compete with unconventional, more efficient error correction technology. The new strategy carries risks. But IBM is confident that it will reach its goal by the end of the decade.
Traceable random numbers from a non-local quantum advantage
The unpredictability of random numbers is fundamental to both digital security1,2 and applications that fairly distribute resources3,4. However, existing random number generators have limitations—the generation processes cannot be fully traced, audited and certified to be unpredictable. The algorithmic steps used in pseudorandom number generators5 are auditable, but they cannot guarantee that their outputs were a priori unpredictable given knowl…
The US technological giant IBM presented on Tuesday new advances with a view to building by 2029 the first commercial quantum computer, considered a computer revolution for its unprecedented computing power. Current quantum computers are still experimental and face high error rates. Companies like IBM, Google and Microsoft are working to build more stable and scalable quantum systems. IBM assured that it is close to solving those problems and ca…
IBM to Release Functional Quantum Computer by 2029
IBM Quantum System One in Ehningen, Germany. Credit: IBM Research / CC BY 2.0 IBM researchers announced they have overcome one of the biggest technical barriers in functional quantum computing and plan to launch a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum machine by 2029. The development could mark a turning point in the race to build computers far more powerful than anything available today. The breakthrough centers on a new way to fix the errors tha…
IBM Targets 2029 for First Commercial Quantum Computer, Promises Major Leap in Business Computing
IBM has announced a detailed plan to build the world’s first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029, according to official company statements released June 10, 2025. The company will construct this system, called IBM Quantum Starling, at a new data center in Poughkeepsie, New York. IBM expects Starling to perform 20,000 times more operations than […]
