D-Wave unveils gate-model roadmap targeting 100 logical qubits by 2032
AI Summary
D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced a new gate-model roadmap designed to accelerate the development of commercial, fault-tolerant quantum computing. The roadmap targets 100 logical qubits capable of successfully performing over one million operations by 2032, leveraging D-Wave’s expertise in high-coherence dual-rail qubits and quantum error correction. Key milestones include delivering systems with significantly reduced error rates by 2028 and achieving 10 logical qubits by 2030. CEO Dr. Alan Baratz stated that their superconducting dual-rail architecture is a fundamentally different approach expected to redefine how quickly the technology becomes commercial.
Key Highlights
- D-Wave announced a new gate-model roadmap for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
- The roadmap targets 100 logical qubits capable of over one million operations by 2032.
- By 2026, D-Wave plans to deliver a 17-physical-qubit system with logical error rates 2x lower than physical.
- By 2027, a 49-physical-qubit system is targeted to deliver a 20-fold error reduction factor.
- By 2028, a 181-physical-qubit system is expected to deliver a 2,000-fold error reduction factor.
- By 2030, D-Wave aims for a 10-logical-qubit system to support the first fault-tolerant algorithms.
- D-Wave is targeting a Lambda of 10 for error reduction, significantly higher than the industry average of 2.
