“If you said 15 years for very useful quantum computers, that would probably be on the early side... If you said 30, it’s probably on the late side. But if you picked 20, I think a whole bunch of us would believe it.”

"Companies like Rigetti are still a long way from commercializing their quantum platforms at scale."

"While 2026 won't be the year that it reaches the mainstream, it's likely that there will be several impressive breakthroughs in the field."

Quantum computers that are “practically useful” are 5-to-10 years away.

“We think we’re about five years out from a real breakout, kind of practical application that you can only solve on a quantum computer.”

"By 2029, we will deliver IBM Quantum Starling — a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer capable of running quantum circuits comprising 100 million quantum gates on 200 logical qubits. "

"But for commercially impactful applications like drug discovery or large-scale logistics optimization, you need 1,000 to 10,000 logical qubits, which is more likely mid-2030s."

“Production fault-tolerant quantum computing likely arrives in the 2030 to 2035 window, contingent on materials, control electronics, and software co-design breakthroughs.”

"Long-term fault-tolerant [commercially viable] systems (2029-2030) from Google, Microsoft, and Quantinuum face greater uncertainty, requiring breakthroughs in error correction, scalability, and manufacturing."

"While full fault-tolerant universal quantum computers are still likely beyond the 2030 horizon for widespread commercial use, Quantinuum will have established commercial beachheads in specific high-value industries."

"The quantum computing industry has reached an inflection point in 2025, transitioning from theoretical promise to tangible [fault-tolerant ] commercial reality."

"The wider quantum computing community will confirm quantum advantage by the end of 2026 and fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2029."

"The world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer will run 20,000 times more operations than today's systems by 2029."

" This milestone provides us with the most de-risked development roadmap in the industry and positions us to fulfill our promise to deliver our universal, fully fault-tolerant [commercially viable] quantum computer, Apollo, by 2029."

"The first fault-tolerant quantum computer, Starling, will be available to clients in 2029."

“By 2028, we will bring Libra [fault-tolerant quantum system], a Megaquop-scale device, capable of executing one million quantum operations over hundreds of logical qubits, to our customers, enabling first scientific applications in quantum chemistry, high-energy physics, and materials simulation that are beyond the reach of classical and Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers today.”

Will a Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer be Available to Commercial Users Before 2030?

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on June 22 aimed at accelerating U.S. quantum computing development and protecting government systems from quantum-enabled cyber threats, with a target of building a scientifically capable quantum computer by 2028.

One order, titled "Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks," requires federal agencies to transition high-value assets to post-quantum cryptography for key establishment by Dec. 31, 2030, and for digital signatures by Dec. 31, 2031.

The orders also direct the Secretary of War to identify at least three next-generation quantum sensor projects within 60 days, with a goal of fielding those sensors by Sept. 30, 2028, as an alternative to traditional GPS systems.

The executive orders followed a May announcement by the Commerce Department of more than $2 billion in federal financing incentives for nine quantum computing companies under the CHIPS and Science Act, including a new IBM venture.
