The field of quantum computing has evolved into a large interdisciplinary community where significant resources are invested worldwide. As a result, accelerated progress is achieved and we are at the beginning of a new age of computation, developing programmable quantum systems towards universal quantum computers. Quantum computers promise to solve certain mathematical problems that are intractable to classical computers. Quantum computing systems are built from the bottom up reaching the limits of what can be classically simulated. The IBM Quantum Development Roadmap describes our vision of creating a quantum computing ecosystem delivering quantum applications through the cloud. This requires developing the entire quantum computing stack starting from the qubit and quantum processor technology, control electronics to software, algorithms and applications for quantum computing, implemented in the cloud and integrated with high performance computing. In this presentation the recent developments of our quantum computing systems and the scientific advances that enabled scaling superconducting quantum processors to 127 qubits are presented.

Quantum computing as emerging technology raises high expectations to accelerate complicated calculations, superseding capabilities of presently available supercomputers and to provide a solution to the ever-increasing challenge of processing big amount of data. Besides theoretical promises, quantum computers have successfully been realized in experimental settings during the past few years, and can now also be accessed commercially. Given this availability of quantum computers, their application potential can be scrutinized. Promised to lead to disruptive changes in addressing and solving problems from the domains of simulation, optimization and machine learning, quantum computers have been researched in context of many application scenarios in industrial and academic setting in the recent years. However, it turns out that currently available quantum computers are still to small in size and limited in quality to fulfill the high hopes set in them at the moment. This review reflects on the current state of the technology coming from the perspective of the application, and indicates the developments required on hardware, software and algorithmic side to eventually make quantum computing beneficial for applications.
Quantum computing has surfaced as a revolutionary idea with the potential to transform industries ranging from cryptography to drug discovery. However, alongside its promise, quantum computing faces formidable challenges, particularly in the realm of hardware development and scalability. One of the central challenges lies in the creation and scaling of dependable hardware infrastructure. At present, quantum computers can only manipulate a limited number of qubits for brief periods before succumbing to noise-induced disruptions. This constraint severely curtails their ability to execute complex computations and address real-world problems with efficiency. Furthermore, the relentless march towards miniaturization presents a significant hurdle. As transistors shrink in size, quantum effects increasingly interfere with their behavior, posing a barrier to further hardware miniaturization and scalability. Moreover, the quest to increase qubit counts stands as a pivotal milestone in advancing quantum computing capabilities. However, achieving higher qubit counts is fraught with challenges. These include the maintenance of qubit coherence and stability, the mitigation of unwanted inter-qubit interactions, and overcoming logistical hurdles in fabrication and control systems. Each of these challenges presents a significant roadblock on the path to realizing the full potential of quantum computing. Despite these formidable obstacles, researchers and scientists are actively engaged in the pursuit of solutions. Through innovative approaches and rigorous experimentation, they are striving to overcome the barriers impeding hardware development and scalability. By addressing these challenges, quantum computing stands poised to unlock unprecedented computational power and drive breakthroughs in fields ranging from optimization and machine learning to materials science and beyond. Thus, while the road ahead may be fraught with challenges, the transformative potential of quantum computing compels us to persevere in our quest to harness the power of the quantum realm.
