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#

Take a deep dive into how quantum technologies are accelerating, captured in our Investor Day presentations. This is the vision from the frontier of the quantum ecosystem: 🔸 @NiccoloDeMasi, Chairman and CEO, IonQ 🔸 Inder M. Singh, COO and CFO, IonQ 🔸 Chris Ballance, President of Quantum Computing, IonQ 🔸 Thomas Sonderman, CEO, SkyWater 🔸 @jordan_shapiro, President and General Manager, Quantum Platform, IonQ Read the blog → #IonQ# #QuantumIsNow# #FutureOfQuantum#

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#

There are four critical cybersecurity clocks—each telling time in a different way: the adversary, the regulator, the vendor, and your ability to execute. You control one. If the others get there first, you could face higher costs and a range of risks. IonQ just reported on how a 20,000-physical-qubit quantum computer is estimated to be able to break 256-bit elliptic encryption. This blog by Field Quantum Security Officer Simon Sinisha Patkovic details what’s behind each of the four clocks and what organizations need to know now to improve security exposure.

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#

Quantum World Congress is just around the corner! We’ve lived and breathed quantum in College Park for over a decade. So we're thrilled to welcome members of the global quantum ecosystem here next week. Hear from our CEO @NiccoloDeMasi at his keynote on Thurs, Sept. 24. And meet with leaders including: 🔸 Inder M. Singh, CFO and COO 🔸 Robert Cardillo, Executive Chairman of IonQ Federal 🔸 Dean Acosta, Chief Corporate Affairs & Government Relations Officer 🔸 @jordan_shapiro, President, Quantum Platform Quantum is not just progressing—it’s accelerating—and we can’t wait to share insights from our backyard. What happens next changes everything. See you when you get here. #IonQ# #QuantumIsNow# #FutureOfQuantum# #QWC2026# #QuantumWorldCongress#

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.
