With quantum computers comprised of over 100 qubits now generally accessible, a multitude of demonstrations at this utility scale have been performed. Although the focus is typically on the scale, quality, and speed of the quantum hardware, it is imperative that the classical computing infrastructure underpinning quantum computing architectures be performant and reliable, in lockstep with quantum hardware improvements. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the progress to date made at IBM Quantum in these areas. For Quantum Computational Scientists working above the level of quantum assembly code, I will present the newly announced catalog of Qiskit Functions, created by both IBM Quantum and select partners. Finally, I will share how these utility-scale tools can be applied to algorithmic research leveraging the IBM Quantum System One in Canada, which the University of Toronto now has access to.
