IBM advances to Stage C of DARPA quantum benchmarking program for fault-tolerant systems
Bitget2026/10/07 21:30IBM advanced to Stage C of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, moving into independent testing of its quantum hardware. Selection triggers verification work by DARPA’s IV&V team to assess IBM’s path to a fault-tolerant quantum computer. IBM reiterated its target to deliver its first fault-tolerant system in 2029, ahead of DARPA’s 2033 program goal. IBM cited progress on core fault-tolerance hardware components, supported by recent advances in efficient error-correction decoding.
