IBM is one of the leading companies in https://thenewstack.io/quantum-computing-use-cases/, with its roadmap targeting more than 1,000 qubits by the end of 2023. That’s the so-called “quantum advantage” level, when quantum computing will out-perform classical computing in https://thenewstack.io/quantum-computing-use-cases-how-viable-is-it-really/. So we know IBM is innovating on hardware, but is it as ambitious on the software side of quantum computing?

To answer these questions, I spoke to https://www.linkedin.com/in/blake-johnson-b8747417b/, Quantum Platform Lead at IBM Quantum, and https://www.linkedin.com/in/tushar-mittal/, a product manager on the Qiskit Runtime team.

The development roadmap for Qiskit Runtime will continue to be geared towards its power users, however IBM will also be developing managed services for general developers.
