IonQ

IonQ was at NVIDIA GTC Washington D.C. this week to showcase hybrid application demos and highlight real-world quantum use cases spanning sectors like healthcare, defense, and materials science. Our team demonstrated two new hybrid applications that highlight the convergence of AI and quantum for faster drug simulations with AstraZeneca and next-gen engineering breakthroughs with Ansys. Thanks to everyone who joined us and brought such energy and collaboration to an incredible week of innovation.

IonQ will be participating in the 2025 UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase, taking place on November 7th at the Business Design Centre in London. Our team will be demonstrating our latest advancements in quantum computing innovation. Stop by booth #52 to learn more about the breakthroughs driving the future of quantum computing. https://lnkd.in/gDq4uq3g

The shift to quantum is more than evolutionary—it’s revolutionary. We're moving beyond the limits of silicon, into a new paradigm of computing that's more powerful, more efficient, and accelerating faster than we can grasp. IonQ is proud to be leading that charge. 

Today, we have released a landmark technical result demonstrating the world’s highest two-qubit gate performance with fidelity exceeding 99.99%! 🎉 As the first and only quantum computing company to cross the ‘four-nines’ benchmark, this new world record represents a critical milestone that underpins our accelerated roadmap. By engineering qubits with record-level fidelity, we have now achieved the hardware performance required to scale to millions of qubits. Record quantum performance unlocks a few major advantages:  ✅ Error-corrected performance improves dramatically  ✅ Complex, breakthrough use cases can be addressed  ✅ Products can be delivered faster This result was achieved on prototypes which will form the basis of our 256-qubit systems. Leveraging Electronic Qubit Control, these devices integrate all qubit control components onto classical semiconductor chips – meaning we can mass-manufacture these devices through the existing semiconductor supply chain. 👉 For more on today’s announcement, read the press release here: https://lnkd.in/g9yEeiGU

In 2025, the company has taken steps to expand its capabilities and market reach through acquisitions, international growth, and increased emphasis on enterprise engagement.” Read the IDC Vendor Profile to discover what IDC has to say about IonQ. https://lnkd.in/gb_U2axX

IonQ has achieved a major milestone in quantum chemistry simulations. Using the quantum-classical auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (QC-AFQMC) algorithm, we demonstrated the accurate computation of atomic-level forces, a breakthrough that strengthens quantum computing’s role in solving real-world chemistry problems. This research is particularly significant for carbon capture, where precision at the atomic level is critical to designing materials that absorb carbon more efficiently, which will be key for climate mitigation. This result is not only a scientific achievement but also a step toward commercial advantage, deepening our quantum chemistry portfolio and reinforcing our commitment to addressing the most pressing global challenges.
