IonQ promises a manufacturable, commercial fault-tolerant system in 2028

Due 2028

IonQ says its Superion 10K platform, about 10,000 trapped-ion qubits with control electronics built into the chip, will become a manufacturable, commercial fault-tolerant quantum computer (one that corrects its own errors as it runs) in 2028, a year after a lab demonstration.

“The step from 256 to 10K qubits is being delivered by integrating CMOS onto the chip – something the semiconductor industry has done many times and SkyWater does every day. CMOS integration is expected to reach full fault tolerance reality in a 2027 lab setting at IonQ, and manufacturable, commercial reality in 2028.”

“The company is targeting a laboratory demonstration of fault tolerance using the technology in 2027, followed by a manufacturable commercial system in 2028.”
