Executive Summary
IBM is executing on a public roadmap, having achieved 'quantum utility' in 2023 and targeting 'quantum advantage'—where a quantum computer is better, faster, or cheaper for a practical problem—in 2026.
Significant breakthroughs in error correction, specifically the development of the more efficient 'Gross Code', have dramatically accelerated the timeline for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
IBM's hardware is advancing with a new 120-qubit device planned for 2026, with a strategic goal to deliver useful, error-corrected quantum systems to clients by 2029.
The most promising near-term applications are in chemistry and material science, and enterprises are advised to begin training staff now to be prepared for the technology's maturation.
