The investment will span research and development, capital expenditure, manufacturing scaling, ecosystem partnerships, and M&A. Together, these areas are designed to accelerate IBM’s quantum roadmap beyond delivering the world’s first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer in 2029, and advance quantum leadership anchored in the United States.

This investment funds the next stage of that foundation, carrying IBM’s lead from today’s commercial quantum computers towards fault-tolerant scale systems. **IBM’s quantum leadership today** This investment reinforces IBM’s mission to bring useful quantum computing to the world and builds on the most advanced quantum program in the industry: ◦ **Expansive Global Quantum Fleet: **IBM operates the world’s largest and most powerful fleet of quantum computers. As of today, the company has deployed over 90 quantum systems across the globe via the cloud and dedicated on-site deployments– including more quantum computers than the rest of the industry combined. This fleet includes quantum computers operating at IBM quantum centers in New York and Germany; at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, PINQ in Quebec, The University of Tokyo and RIKEN in Japan, Yonsei University in South Korea, and BasQ in Spain, with additional systems coming soon in Chicago, and at Amaravati Quantum Valley in India. ◦ **Roadmap to the World’s First Large-Scale, Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer: ** IBM has a clear path to delivering IBM Quantum Starling in 2029 – the world’s first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer which will be capable of executing 20,000 times more operations than today’s existing systems. Starling will lay the foundation for IBM Quantum Blue Jay, which will run one billion quantum operations across 2,000 qubits. These systems will deliver the transformative scale needed for quantum to take on the most challenging and currently intractable problems across science and industries. ◦ **Expanding Adoption: **Since 2017, IBM’s quantum program has signed more than $1.1 billion in contracts with clients to advance their exploration and use of quantum computing. Today, a network of more than 340 IBM Quantum Network members spanning financial services, healthcare, materials science, academia and government are using IBM quantum computers to pursue real-world algorithmic discovery. ◦ **America’s First Quantum Foundry: **With the support of the United States Department of Commerce, IBM recently announced plans to launch [Anderon](https://newsroom.ibm.com/ibm-and-u-s-department-of-commerce-announce-americas-first-purpose-built-quantum-foundry), the world’s first pure-play quantum wafer foundry. IBM will contribute $1 billion of cash into Anderon, alongside significant intellectual property, assets, and a skilled workforce. ◦ **Path to Quantum Advantage: **IBM is confident that its partners using IBM quantum computers will demonstrate quantum advantage in 2026. The company is seeing accelerated progress on this path as evidenced by recent experiments that confirm quantum as a useful scientific tool, including work with the Cleveland Clinic and RIKEN to [model](https://newsroom.ibm.com/2026-05-05-cleveland-clinic,-riken,-and-ibm-model-a-12,635-atom-protein-the-largest-known-to-be-simulated-with-quantum-computers) a 12,635-atom protein; a [collaboration](https://newsroom.ibm.com/2026-03-26-ibm-quantum-computer-accurately-simulates-real-magnetic-materials,-reproducing-national-laboratory-data) with national laboratories and universities to accurately simulate magnetic materials; and [research](https://newsroom.ibm.com/2026-03-05-ibm-and-university-researchers-create-a-never-before-seen-molecule-and-prove-its-exotic-nature-with-quantum-computing) with universities to prove the nature of a never-before-seen molecule. ◦ **The World’s Most Popular Quantum Software:** Developed by IBM, Qiskit is the world’s preferred software stack for quantum computing and algorithms research, built to optimize and execute quantum workloads and used by nearly 70 percent of quantum developers today and have executed over 4 trillion quantum circuits on quantum computers. **About IBM** IBM is a leading provider of global hybrid cloud and AI, and consulting expertise.
