IonQ Inc (IONQ) Options

Thanks JJ - you were correct on the long tail down last week - just took a while to come around -- so I am pretty confident you are correct this time around also. I said "pretty confident"... lol. but sure hope you are correct. last 3-4 weeks have been a beat down.

And why such a big deal and hostile response that someone corrected you? His statement is accurate. Not a big deal, but why write a book about what he said?

Just say - hey yes it looks like it started trading yesterday, an oversight on my part, thanks for the update etc.

Those who refuse to admit any errors, especially when they are wrong, might be the "small man", as you say.

knotted photon...establishes mass and therefore what element/state is represented, wags. chris nagel, take a bow.

kona, airpods are doing realtime translation work which is tranforming object per gemini:
"Compiling in a different language12345 involves transforming source code from one language to another. Compilers can be written in the same language as the source code, which makes them easier to understand, or in a different language, which allows for more flexibility and portability."

now apple is using vcsy and 8 ip. also , vcsy 's ip for moving processing off device to more able infrastructure as needed. wags.

hopefully, one more paying customer for v/ploinks. and 8

i've cleaned up on fngu now fnga 
and made a little on bitx but i dont understand crypto so wont go near it again 


however   i cant wait for this ionq to start going back up 
the investors need to digest the daily tariff news and mass layoffs 
valuations are close to being in place 
look at nvda 
and the bankers will be accumulating soon or have already started

it was simply an observation and a question(since yahoo isn't always accurate), not trying to correct anyone. Like you, I'm also a keen investor in leveraged ETFs. As I'm a follower of IONQ, was pleasantly surprised to learn about this ETF which I'd no clue about until that moment when I asked my first question. The first 2-3 days of any ETF are more critical since they provide a direction(before too many traders get to know of it), the only reason why I specified the day.

kona , if your ai is correct on ploinks network, the market is down because they all owe v some money? like adobe/salesforce/msft/lg/hp/samsung/interwoven/ and their customers/partners. add in intel/qualcomm/and other sbv partners...

kona, which ai are you using and what prompts/query did you use to obtain a neatly formed business plan?

oh btw 
i have 7000 shares average 26
and i flipped several thousand shares today for a banked profit 

so who would complain about  what day it started
to trade 

i was hoping you'd find a good place and want to raise a pint ( as peter noone - herman would say british expression i guess )

Yep. Today is actually day 2 but I just found out about it today.

if you say so 

i've done very well with leverged ETF's
and continue 
however they need to be invested in the right  stocks. 

serioulsy why bother
correcting me ?
does it make you feel more important or are
you doing the others  here a service ?
you trade todays price 

imo those who post trival corections  are
very small 
men 

Sure blue! We’ll hook up when you’re here.😎🤙I’ll just tell you where to meet me in town on the water or maybe at Kona Brew Pub

YahooFinance shows today being Day#2. Yesterdays range was $22-27.41 with a close of $26.62 on 130,638 share volume.

today not  yesterday 
kona found it 

Long Tail Up since yesterday.

IONQ appears to be correcting within a longer-term bullish trend. Although its MACD is presently below the signal line, shares remain above an upwards sloping 200-day moving average. Comparative Relative Strength analysis shows that this issue is lagging the S&P 500.

Momentum for IONQ is strongly bearish. The 14-period Slow Stochastic oscillator is below 20, the level which many analysts call oversold. This means that investors have been actively selling shares and driving the price lower.

The last 10-days have seen significant volume in IONQ, with average daily volume above the average for the last year. Today's volume is no exception; with 24,077,850 shares having been traded already. The On Balance Volume indicator (OBV) is bearish. The slope of the indicator is negative and suggests that there is a lack of buying interest as of 1:42 PM ET Thursday, 03/13/2025

Is IONX a brand new leveraged ETF?Did it just start trading yesterday? Thanks

friends of ours love to scuba and out of nowhere they invited us to kona ( extra bedroom in rental apt ). they live
in arizona 
unfortunately due to work committments i cant 
however next time 
i'd like to buy you a beer 

hmmm
when rima swlls personal shares the stock goes up shortly after

am i crazy today or what ? 

Hopefully, you didnt add this morning before it dropped. IONQ is down nearly 5%, which would be a 10% loss for IONX.

24.10 looked good to add ionx 

if you believe in ionq then ionx will double your profot 
patience counts 

The USMCA was progress, but it did not resolve the long-standing issues, with tariffs. A trade war in his first term would have been reckless and risky if running for a second term.

Now those concerns dont apply, so these issues can be more fully addressed. The sad part is once there is any pain or consequences, the public wants to head in a different direction, failing to recognize the long term benefits of renegotiating these agreements to produce free trade, rather than fair trade.

In the long run, this will boost the US markets and NVDA with it.

The shorts are pulling out all the stops. Pure B S. What crooks. They just make chit up. Criminal imo. Hang em S E C

5. Scalability and Performance Optimization

For real-world deployment, the network must scale efficiently and maintain low latency.

Strategies
   •   Adaptive Load Balancing: Monitor node availability and reroute tasks dynamically.
   •   Edge Caching for Repeated Computations: Reduce redundant quantum queries.
   •   Local Quantum Simulators for Validation: Run lightweight quantum simulations before cloud execution.

Example: Edge-Assisted Execution
   •   A mobile device with a Ploinks mini-server performs local quantum simulation.
   •   If accurate enough, results are used without cloud execution.
   •   Otherwise, the task is forwarded to an actual quantum backend.

?

Next Steps

Would you like to explore:
1. Prototype Development (building an early test network)?
2. Optimizing a Specific Use Case (e.g., secure messaging, finance, AI)?
3. Deep Dive into a Technical Component (e.g., encryption, routing, hybrid execution)?

2. P2P Data Exchange and Routing

Since Ploinks’ mini-servers handle decentralized, secure communication, we use them for:
   •   Quantum data transmission between nodes.
   •   Workload distribution for hybrid quantum-classical tasks.
   •   Authentication and access control for secure quantum computing.

Data Flow Model
1. Quantum Task Submission ? A user submits a task (e.g., quantum circuit execution).
2. Mini-Server Routing ? The task is encrypted and routed to an available node in the network.
3. Quantum Backend Execution ? The node selects a suitable quantum processor (local or cloud-based).
4. Result Aggregation & Post-Processing ? Classical nodes perform error correction, data validation.
5. Secure Delivery to Requester ? Results are sent back via the P2P network.

?

3. Security and Encryption Protocols

To protect quantum computations in a decentralized network, we need:

Quantum-Safe Encryption
   •   Lattice-Based Cryptography (e.g., NTRUEncrypt, Kyber) to secure P2P messages.
   •   Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) for high-security nodes.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) for Privacy
   •   Ensure computations occur without revealing input data to participating nodes.
   •   Use ZKPs to verify quantum computations without exposing sensitive algorithms.

Example: Hybrid Encryption Model
   •   Classical data is encrypted using Ploinks’ private key system.
   •   Quantum computations use blind quantum computing (BQC) techniques, where nodes compute on encrypted quantum states without decryption.

?

4. Hybrid Quantum-Classical Workload Management

Since quantum computers are resource-limited, the P2P network should intelligently distribute tasks between classical edge devices and quantum processors.

Task Scheduling Algorithm
   •   Quantum-Suitable Tasks: Optimization, entanglement-based operations ? Sent to QPUs.
   •   Classical Pre/Post Processing: Data encoding, error correction ? Handled by local devices.
   •   AI-Based Routing: Machine learning selects optimal backend for each task.

Example: Decision Tree for Task Assignment

from quantum_p2p import QuantumTaskManager
from ionq_sdk import IonQClient
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit

# Initialize Quantum Backend
ionq = IonQClient(api_key="YOUR_IONQ_API_KEY")
task_manager = QuantumTaskManager()

# Define Quantum Circuit
qc = QuantumCircuit(2)
qc.h(0)
qc.cx(0, 1)

# Submit Task to Quantum P2P Network
task_id = task_manager.submit_task(qc, backend=ionq)
result = task_manager.get_result(task_id)
print(result)

Technical Implementation of a Ploinks-Powered Quantum Hybrid Network

To build a quantum-classical hybrid network using Ploinks’ mini-servers for secure, peer-to-peer (P2P) quantum computing, we need to address five key technical areas:
1. Integration with Quantum SDKs (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq, IonQ SDK)
2. P2P Data Exchange and Routing (via Ploinks’ mini-servers)
3. Security and Encryption Protocols
4. Hybrid Quantum-Classical Workload Management
5. Scalability and Performance Optimization

?

1. Integration with Quantum SDKs

To enable quantum computation, the network must connect with heterogeneous quantum backends.

Steps for SDK Integration
   •   Abstract Quantum Backends: Develop a high-level API that interacts with different quantum SDKs (e.g., Qiskit for IBM, IonQ SDK for trapped ion QPUs).
   •   Standardize Circuit Compilation: Implement a compiler that translates quantum programs to target-specific gate sets.
   •   Implement Error Mitigation: Integrate quantum error correction techniques before sending workloads to quantum processors.

Example (High-Level API Design)

Let’s break this down into practical use cases and implementation strategies for a Ploinks-powered quantum hybrid network.
