IonQ targets a lab demonstration of fault tolerance in 2027

Due 2027

IonQ says its Superion 10K design, about 10,000 trapped-ion qubits with control electronics built into the chip, will show full fault tolerance (correcting errors faster than they build up) in its own laboratory in 2027.

Predicted by: Chris Ballance (IonQ)
Type: Official company roadmap
Said on: Sep 8, 2026
Original deadline: in a 2027 lab setting (2027)

“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.”
