- IonQ announced Tuesday a quantum error decoder running on single CPU in real-time, eliminating previous bottleneck of error correction delays. - Stock surged 11-15% Wednesday following the milestone, marking best day since August 7. - Decoder successfully validated across hundreds of logical qubits and millions of operations, enabling practical fault-tolerant quantum computing path. > IonQ's real-time error correction on commodity hardware represents a practical step toward fault-tolerant quantum systems, though near-term revenue generation from this advance remains uncertain given quantum computing's nascent commercial phase. IonQ shares rally after company says it made a major quantum computing breakthrough
