"Today we made a deal with IonQ to start a phase one - of quantum securitizing our Lambda Rail starting with Miami Dade College, Palm Beach State College and Florida Atlantic University to spread it from there. That physical infrastructure... that fiber optic connection, that's how our universities, colleges partner - share classified confidential research and work with military assets." J. Alex Kelly, Florida Secretary of Commerce, announced yesterday at #eMergeAmericas a new partnership with IonQ. Stay tuned for details.

Coming to you from Miami Beach: @IonQ_Inc and @QuantumCoast brought together leaders across academia, government, and industry as part of this week's @eMergeAmericas event. We were honored to be with pioneers from @FloridaAtlantic, @PBStateCollege, @MDCollege, @FIU, @UCF, @UF, @univmiami, and @FloridaState who are building alignment for the broader Florida Quantum initiative - where capital, research institutions, operators and policymakers are all joining together to drive momentum. Thank you @_SMillard and @mattcimaglia for your leadership. @FLACommerce @BDBPalmBeach @QuantumDaily

Happy #WorldQuantumDay! To my @IonQ brothers and sisters out there - I love working with you. To our customers and partners - THANK YOU. You make our world go round. Here's my take on one bit o' news: Time to Solution Part II: Revenge of the Data. @sakacc/reality-rhetoric-part-ii-revenge-of-the-data-429c5eff6edf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@sakacc/realit…

There is nothing more powerful than hearing directly from real customers solving real-world problems. Dr. Seong-Hyok Sean Kim, VP of Quantum at LGE, recently shared the following: "The Quantum team at LGE, aiming to tackle commercial‑grade and industry‑relevant use cases, has recently evaluated multiple quantum systems on AWS Braket and Microsoft Azure Quantum, including the IonQ Forte Enterprise. Among the systems evaluated, IonQ was one of only two that produced usable results and did so at a significant time-to-solution and cost-to-solution advantage given our needs." I’m energized by the quality and volume of feedback we continue to receive from global enterprises, governments, and system integrators. Quantum is no longer the future — it’s here today. @IonQ_Inc is delivering usable, practical results with quantum right now. #WorldQuantumDay @NiccoloDeMasi @sakacc

Looking forward to welcoming more than 50 @IonQ_Inc customers and partners to our NYSE event tomorrow and hearing firsthand how IonQ is delivering real quantum advantage. We’ll kick off with a customer panel led by @NiccoloDeMasi, followed by sessions on real-world applications across portfolio optimization with @marco_pistoia, AI LLM fine-tuning with Masako Yamada, and accelerating CAE through our partnership with Synopsys Inc with Martin Roetteler. We’ll also cover ultra-precise PNT, a globally secure quantum internet with Rick Muller, and quantum interconnects with Mihir Bhaskar. Ariel Braunstein will introduce our new benchmarking framework, and @sakacc will dive into Time-to-Solution. It’s going to be an outstanding day for our quantum community. Let’s go!!! #WorldQuantumDay

$IONQ See link below for another great lecture with IonQ Chief Scientist, Chris Monroe. Some interesting comments: 1. When describing Oxford Ionics architecture and two qubit gate fidelity, he says twice that they are actually very close to (but just under) 5 9s (99.999%). Oxford Ionics currently holds the world record at 4 9s (99.99%). So they are potentially very close to another order of magnitude improvement. 2. He confirms he is spending alot of time now in Boston and is excited to work with the Lightsynq team on photonic interconnects. He also describes it as a major collaboration with Duke, and says a number of his Duke students are with him. More importantly he describes Lightsynqs technology as "black magic" due to its ability to easily connect to fiber with no loss, and says it is potentially a 100x improvement (Ionq previously described it as up to 50x improvement). 3. Chris once again says that the large companies are making a huge mistake with their superconducting chips. Says they dont know what they are doing, and thag he thinks new big companies will lead quantum. 4. Says trapped-ions connected on distributed basis is only known way to scale with all to all connectivity. He thinks all to all connectivity and less error correction is much more important then gate speed, and can still lead to faster solution time. #bottom-sheet" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/watch?v=czJ7vp…

Hey. Thanks for reading that 😀. The team was proud of this (team = app team, Kipu team, and the team that built the system), and I think rightfully so. The decomposition technique has durable value also, FWIW. Net: real impact now, even more tomorrow.

$IonQ IonQ officially publishes the portfolio optimization results on their blog today. The arxiv paper we covered weeks ago is now corporate communication. That’s a signal. Quick recap for those who missed it: → 250 assets from the S&P 500, real market data (2020-2025) → Executed on three systems: IonQ Forte (36 qubits), Forte Enterprise (36 qubits), and a 64-qubit Barium dev system described as “similar to the forthcoming IonQ Tempo line” → Co-authored with @KipuQuantum same BF-DCQO algorithm from the protein folding Results → Co-authors include Marco Pistoia (IonQ Italia), Enrique Solano (Kipu Co-CEO), Martin Roetteler (IonQ VP Quantum Software) What the blog makes explicit that the paper didn’t emphasize: → Trapped-ion all-to-all connectivity is a structural advantage for dense financial QUBO problems. Superconducting processors need SWAP routing that multiplies circuit depth and errors. IonQ doesn’t. → The pipeline is hardware-generation agnostic. Each qubit count increase reduces decomposition error within the same architecture. No redesign needed. → Multi-QPU parallel execution is the production scaling model. Connect this to what Inder Singh said at the Cantor conference 12 days ago: “It’s nice to have the iPhone. It’s better to have the App Store with it.” Portfolio optimization is the App Store. And recall Cantor Fitzgerald is both hosting Singh’s presentation and advising IonQ on the $1.8B SkyWater acquisition. The S-4 filed last week confirms it. The financial world is watching. 🔗 ionq.com/blog/quantum-c… Full scoop 👇 $SKYT #IonQ #QuantumFinance

What a morning! Two feet of snow in New England, the Patriots heading back to the Super Bowl… but the best news of all: Welcome to IonQ, @SkyWaterFoundry . This partnership is a major acceleration point for our roadmap: Faster wafer manufacturing through reduced iteration cycles and parallelized wafer prototyping 200,000-qubit QPUs enabling ~8,000 ultra-high-fidelity logical qubits, now expected to begin functional testing in 2028 — two years ahead of our original 2030 target The ability to pull forward our 2M-qubit chip by up to a year This is what vertical integration enables. IonQ is building the only vertically integrated, full-stack quantum platform, and today’s announcement is another step in turning quantum advantage into reality — faster. Exciting times ahead ⚛️ @NiccoloDeMasi @sakacc @IonQ_Inc
IonQ@IonQ_Inc

IonQ plans to acquire @SkyWaterFoundry, creating the only vertically integrated full-stack quantum platform company. This will accelerate commercialization of our fault tolerant quantum computers and benefit the broader quantum industry, enhancing national security, economic strength, and technological superiority.

Thirty years ago this week, a tiny breakthrough sparked a computing revolution. On Dec 18, 1995, Dr. Chris Monroe demonstrated the world’s first quantum logic gate using trapped ions—work that would later become the scientific foundation behind IonQ and modern gate-based quantum computing. What began as lab science now powers a company and an industry focused on scaling real quantum hardware. Every revolution starts small. #QuantumComputing #Innovation #DeepTech #TechHistory

Research is hard but sometimes, occasionally, you find something very exciting, like in our new paper! We design a fast and accurate decoder for QLDPC codes, capable of correcting 1000 logical qubits on trapped ions with only 3 CPUs.
