What puzzles me with IBMs roadmap is their scaling: 2025 156 qubits, 5000 gates 2028 156 qubits, 15K gates 2029 200 qubits, 100M gates 2033 2000 qub

What puzzles me with IBMs roadmap is their scaling:
2025 156 qubits, 5000 gates
2028 156 qubits, 15K gates
2029 200 qubits, 100M gates
2033 2000 qubits, 1B gates
The jump from 15K to 100M gates looks fishy to me. Maybe I am wrong but I doubt that will work that way.
- mettamage 3y agoThe key is to give an optimistic roadmap and then work on delivering it as fast as possible. Maybe I am getting a bit cynical but it seems that is what all companies and workers are doing.

- echelon 3y agoThere's a huge difference between saying "we can do" and "we think we will be able to do".
- oldgradstudent 3y agoThe real difference is between "we think we can do it" and "we think we can get away with saying it".
- layer8 3y agoIt reads like wishful thinking, or an upper bound of what could happen in the best-case scenario.
- sampo 3y agoWhen will they (or anyone) be able to run Shor's algorithm to factor the number 35? There was a failed attempt in 2019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm#Physical_implementation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm#Physical_im...
