👏Last week at @IEEEQuantumWeek, @ORNL received the @IEEEorg Quantum Technical Community Distinguished Synergy Award, recognizing ORNL’s collaborative approach to advancing quantum science.🏆 🔗 Read more: #QuantumComputing# #QuantumScience#

Researchers from @ORNL, @IonQ_Inc, @nvidia and @UTKnoxville, are exploring how generative #AI# can automatically design quantum circuits, cutting out a time-consuming trial-and-error tuning process. ⤵️ #IEEEQuantumWeek#

We celebrate research, learning, and frontier-level innovation that moves humanity forward. Come see us at the #IEEEQuantumWeek# Career Fair to learn more about what it means to work at IonQ. 📅 Wednesday, September 16, 2026, 1–3PM ET 📍 Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Exhibit Hall Congrats to our teams and their partners on awards for four papers! Visit us at booth #701# to talk to the IonQ team. See open roles with IonQ → #IonQ# #QuantumIsNow# #QuantumComputing# #Hiring# #Careers# #IEEE#

We're always happy to jump in and answer questions on quantum. Lisa Lambert and Tim Rogers joined in to talk to visitors at a friend's booth at #IEEEQuantumWeek#. #IonQ# #IEEE# #QuantumIsNow# #QuantumComputing#

Together with @nvidia and @Synopsys, we have new research showing that quantum algorithms integrated into mainstream engineering software can accelerate complex industrial design by up to 14.6%. Our results illustrate that hybrid quantum computing can address major computational bottlenecks for classical supercomputers, improving runtime for complex dynamic simulations such as processing time for complex car and jet engine simulations. This paper earned a 1st Place Best Paper Award at #IEEEQuantumWeek# in Toronto. Read the full announcement → #IonQ# #QuantumIsNow# #QuantumComputing# #IEEE#

The most accurate approach to training AI is too costly to run, due to trial-and-error parameter-tuning loops. Now, with partners @ORNL, @nvidia, and @UTKnoxville, we show that a trained generative model can write quantum optimization circuits directly—eliminating those costly loops. Hybrid quantum optimization breaks a large problem into smaller pieces, solves each one, and recombines the results for optimal results. Both the trial-and-error and generative methods ran through NVIDIA CUDA-Q, which provided a controlled comparison of the two end-to-end workflows. This research is being presented at #IEEEQuantumWeek# in Toronto, where it won an award for best paper. Read the full announcement → #IonQ# #QuantumIsNow# #QuantumComputing# #IEEE#

Seen from the room where quantum synapses from across the world are being charged up at IEEE Quantum Week. This is 🔸 Well done Lisa Lambert on Canada's quantum journey and lessons for the world 🔸 Great to hear from John Gamble and Martin Roetteler on taking quantum out of the lab and engineering it for impact in the real-world #IonQ# #IEEE# #IEEEQuantumWeek# #QuantumIsNow# #QuantumComputing#

Four winning papers. Incredible recognition from the flagship conference for quantum computing and engineering—IEEE Quantum Week 2026. The awards highlight joint research conducted alongside leading enterprise customers and industry partners, including @NVIDIA, QuantumBasel, @Synopsys, @KipuQuantum, and @ORNL Oak Ridge National Laboratory. IEEE had 857 global research submissions and 27 Best Paper honors. Our 4 medals represent a significant proportion of industry-leading recognition. The papers demonstrate how quantum-classical hybrid systems can accelerate complex computations. The research ranges from fine-tuning artificial intelligence models to protein folding and solving large-scale linear algebra calculations.
