FormationQ

Today, on #WorldChimpanzeeDay, we're proud to announce a landmark collaboration between @JaneGoodallInst and @FormationQ_, using @IonQ_Inc's trapped-ion quantum technology to explore one of behavioural ecology's biggest questions: Why do some of our closest relatives wage war while others live peacefully alongside their neighbours? Combining 65+ years of pioneering field research, advanced agent-based modelling, and hybrid quantum-classical computing, this first-of-its-kind research programme will investigate how ecological conditions shape cooperation and conflict in chimpanzees and bonobos. It's an exciting example of how quantum computing can help address complex, real-world scientific challenges at the intersection of conservation, behavioural science, and human evolution.

The White House's two Executive Orders on quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography mark an important moment for the sector. One focuses on advancing quantum technologies through investments in research, talent, infrastructure, and commercialization. The other recognizes the imperative to prepare our digital systems for a future in which quantum capabilities reshape cybersecurity. Taken together, they reflect a maturing view of quantum: technological progress and deployment readiness must advance in parallel. At FormationQ, we believe realizing the benefits of quantum computing requires more than scientific breakthroughs. It requires building the ecosystems that connect industry, academia, and government to develop talent, enable applications, strengthen resilience, and translate innovation into broad economic and societal value. The quantum era will be defined by how effectively we move from capability to implementation. Executive Order - Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

Exciting coverage in today’s @Telegraph: @KingsFdn, @IonQ & @Space_Syntax team up on the Harmonious Urban Growth initiative — one of the first real-world uses of quantum tech for sustainable urban planning! 🇬🇧🌍 Helping Commonwealth cities grow smarter, greener & more livable.

The King's Foundation has launched a three-year quantum planning pilot with FormationQ to support sustainable urban growth in six cities. #Quantum #UrbanPlanning #Sustainability #UKCities techday.co.uk/story/king-s-f…

Cities are growing faster than infrastructure systems can adapt. Once unplanned growth patterns become locked in, the long-term economic, environmental, and social costs become enormous. As highlighted this week in the @FT, @FormationQ_, @KingsFdn , @IonQ_Inc, and @Space_Syntax are exploring how advanced computational modelling, including quantum optimisation m, may help communities test infrastructure and planning decisions before growth becomes irreversible. The work will begin across six Commonwealth cities, including pilots in Belize and in Zambia’s Copperbelt. markets.ft.com/data/announce/…

Proud to announce @FormationQ_'s partnership with The King’s Foundation @KingsFdn, helping establish one of the first institutional environments exploring quantum methods in urban planning. Launched at Dumfries House, headquarters of The King’s Foundation, the initiative brings together leaders across technology, planning, and sustainability to explore how advanced computational approaches may support more holistic urban development. Over the next three years, FormationQ will work with The King’s Foundation’s Projects Team, alongside @IonQ_Inc and @Space_Syntax, to explore new approaches to infrastructure planning, sustainability, and urban development across six Commonwealth cities. The first pilot initiatives are planned for Belize and Zambia’s Copperbelt region. An important step toward real-world institutional adoption of quantum technologies. #QuantumComputing #UrbanPlanning #Sustainability #Innovation #FutureCities

FormationQ at the @NYSE closing bell for World Quantum Day with @IonQ_Inc. Increasing focus across industry on translating quantum advances into practical applications and institutional capability.

Thrilled to see Quantum supported strongly by the UK government, as we translate research from lab to society. It is also exciting to see our landmark partnership with @IonQ_Inc mentioned in the announcement, @Cambridge_Uni will continue to be a key contributor to this ambition!

We are honored to welcome Ambassador @PuneetTalwarDC, former U.S. Ambassador to Morocco and senior national security leader, as a Strategic Advisor to FormationQ. We are grateful for his support for the mission and honored to have his counsel as we build.

IonQ is powering a new applied quantum program with @FormationQ_- thanks to its Founder/CEO @NadaHosking - as well as the @DeptofPhysics at @Cambridge_Uni. Using IonQ’s high-fidelity trapped ion systems, the collaboration aims to move quantum from the lab to real-world impact across computing, networking, sensing, and security. prnewswire.com/news-releases/… #QuantumComputing #QuantumEcosystem #NextGenTechnology

We're partnering with @FormationQ_ to move quantum out of the lab and into the real-world. Our first initiative is a two-year program focused on building the systems, pathways, and partnerships that make adoption at scale possible. Learn more: buff.ly/3XNEM9S

After months of building quietly, @FormationQ_ is now public. I founded FormationQ to bridge frontier #quantum research with real-world impact, building pathways, partnerships & operational systems to make it happen. We’re kicking off at Cavendish Laboratory @DeptofPhysics, @Cambridge_Uni, working alongside @IonQ_Inc to translate breakthroughs in computing, networking, sensing, and secure systems into applied solutions. Follow @FormationQ_ to track our journey. More announcements coming soon. 🚀

$IonQ This is great piece of news as @FormationQ_ connects Cambridge's reknown Cavendish Lab with IonQ, strengthening the IonQ - UK relationship. Congratulations @NadaHosking!

Big news: FormationQ is live 🚀 We’re taking quantum out of the lab and into the real world. Launching at the @DeptofPhysics Cavendish Lab, our new initiative is powered by @IonQ_Inc’s full-stack quantum tech. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
