Insider Brief
D-Wave has unveiled a gate-model quantum computing roadmap targeting a 100-logical-qubit fault-tolerant system capable of executing more than one million operations by 2032, with potential applications in quantum chemistry and quantum AI.
The roadmap centers on D-Wave’s superconducting dual-rail qubit architecture, which is designed to detect approximately 90% of qubit errors during computation and reduce the physical-qubit overhead required for quantum error correction.
Planned milestones include systems with 17 physical qubits in 2026, 49 physical qubits in 2027, 181 physical qubits in 2028, a 10-logical-qubit fault-tolerant system in 2030, and a 100-logical-qubit system by 2032.
PRESS RELEASE — D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), the only dual-platform quantum computing company providing both annealing and gate-model systems, software and services, today announced a new gate-model roadmap designed to accelerate the development of commercial, fault-tolerant quantum computing. Targeting 100 logical qubits capable of successfully performing over one million operations by 2032, the roadmap combines D-Wave’s expertise in high-coherence dual-rail qubits and quantum error correction, with its proven ability to engineer, scale and commercialize superconducting quantum systems.
