IBM's Starling quantum computer is expected to execute 20,000 times more operations than current quantum machines.

IBM revealed its roadmap for a powerful, fault-tolerant quantum computer arriving by 2029. The major technology announcement immediately is sending the company's stock higher Tuesday.

IBM stock is surging on AI and quantum computing hype, despite minimal real revenue growth from these technologies. Read why I am ultra bearish on IBM stock.

IBM announced on Tuesday that it would be developing a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer called Quantum Starling

On June 10, 2025, IBM unveiled its path to build IBM Quantum Starling in Poughkeepsie, depicted in the rendering above. Starling will be the world’s first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum system, deliverable by 2029.

By 2029, IBM aims to deliver Starling, a new large-scale quantum computer that will be housed in a new IBM quantum data center in Poughkeepsie, New York, and is expected to perform 20,000 times more operations than today’s quantum computers.

Two academic papers show how the company plans to provide quantum error correction using a technique that can run in real time.
