D-Wave Quantum Reveals Roadmap for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer by 2032

D-Wave Quantum has published a multi-stage roadmap for the development of its quantum computing systems. The company's long-term goal is to deliver a fault-tolerant quantum computer featuring 100 logical qubits by 2032, capable of executing more than 1 million operations.

The planned system is designed to enable initial applications in quantum chemistry and artificial intelligence. D-Wave's approach relies on a superconducting two-rail qubit architecture, which the company claims can complete quantum error correction cycles 100 to 1,000 times faster than systems based on neutral atoms or trapped ions.
