IBM Outlines Its Quantum Computing Software Roadmap

IBM laid out a software roadmap for quantum computing that will include the release this year of the open source software Qiskit, a runtime that will serve as the base for further quantum software development.
IBM is projecting that by 2025 there will be frictionless quantum computing to enable a broad array of applications that will surpass classical computing. The roadmap provides "more confidence on what to expect and when," says Bob Sutor, vice president of IBM Quantum Ecosystem Development.
The roadmap shows that IBM is focusing on interfaces with the OpenQASM3 assembly language that will allow quantum kernel developers to run dynamic circuits by 2020. It also plans to debut circuit libraries and advanced control systems to manage large qubit fabrics into 2023. That move will allow kernel developers scale with hardware with 1,000 or more qubits.
Quantum algorithm developers will enter the mix after the kernel layer is developed.
