Chapter 08 · The Road Ahead · Roadmaps

Roadmaps and honest timelines.

Three eras — NISQ, early fault-tolerant, full FTQC. Four vendors with dates on slides. One resource estimator that tells you which dates are physics and which are marketing. By the end of this chapter you'll read any quantum roadmap with the right kind of scepticism.

What you'll learn

Place every vendor on the NISQ → EFT → FTQC line Run Q# resource estimation on Shor Tell physics from marketing
