This decade could hold more than a few breakthroughs for IBM, as the company claims to remain on target with plans to release a 1,121-qubit IBM Quantum Condor processor by 2023. To achieve the long sought after quantum qubit status, IBM is relying on a harmonious ecosystem. For Big Blue, a well-timed intersection of hardware and software efforts brings the roadmap into view.

“The key thing that we focused on in the last six months is really an articulation of our roadmaps, so the roadmap around hardware, the roadmap around software, and we’ve also done quite a bit of ecosystem development,” said Jamie Thomas (pictured), general manager of strategy and development of IBM Systems.

Thomas spoke with Dave Vallente , host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during IBM Think . They discussed t he quantum computer, hybrid cloud, ecosystem evolution and more. (* Disclosure below.)
