“It is imperative that we address performance, scale, and
enterprise-grade quantum solutions simultaneously to achieve
commercial advantage,” said Peter Chapman, President and CEO of
IonQ. “Working to operationalize all three commercial advantage
pillars is an industry-first that sets us apart. While other
companies may hyperfocus on a single dimension, we focus on the
complete picture, to ensure our quantum computing solutions are
best-in-class and provide incomparable value to our customers.”
“Based on market demand, we’ve embarked on a path that no other
commercial quantum computing company is taking, and we are
committed to accelerating our quantum computing strategy as
demonstrated by these ambitious goals,” said Dean Kassmann, SVP of
Engineering & Technology at IonQ. “Our unique approach combines
high performance single core operation, multi-core parallelism,
modularity, photonic interconnects, novel technology, and systems
engineering to deliver highly performant, scalable, and
enterprise-grade quantum computers that drive meaningful
advancements across various industries.”
Performance: Driving Efficiency and Unparalleled
Flexibility
Performance improvements are core to IonQ’s technical roadmap,
and the path toward meeting IonQ’s aggressive performance targets
is clear. Native gate fidelity, architectural design decisions, and
error correction will serve as levers to achieve these goals. IonQ
is driving to improve native two-qubit gate performance to greater
than three 9’s (>99.9%) in 2025, with further gains – fueled by
the move to barium qubits – expected the following year.
Performance improvements are also expected from highly efficient
realizations of quantum algorithms that are enabled by IonQ’s
low-shuttling, high-connectivity architectures. Lastly, the
combination of high native gate fidelity and high connectivity
provides unparalleled flexibility for implementing error correction
and reducing time to solution. With this updated quantum
architecture, IonQ expects to reach five 9’s (99.999%) in logical
two-qubit gate fidelity by the end of 2025, opening up new
application performance capabilities.
Scale: Architecture that Enables Expansive Growth
IonQ is pursuing scale in tandem with performance. IonQ’s north
star is scalability at high performance, and modularity is a
critical component of this strategy. IonQ’s approach to scale
relies on making engineering and architectural decisions that
support performance at large qubit counts. In addition, IonQ’s
strategy for scaling takes advantage of multicore operation and
photonically interconnected systems. Connecting multiple QPUs and
quantum systems with photonic interconnects will enable IonQ to
target 1000s of physical qubits in the future. These higher qubit
counts will unlock new problem spaces and enable developers and
researchers to tackle increasingly complex problems.
Enterprise-Grade: Meeting Real-World Needs
IonQ’s enterprise-grade approach readies its quantum systems for
deployment across various sectors, focusing on manufacturability,
deployability, and customer applications at scale. IonQ has already
formed successful partnerships with organizations like the Naval
Research Laboratory (NRL), Airbus, and Deutsches
Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) – an internationally renowned center
of fundamental research – as they focus on optimization problems
and quantum chemistry and other important real-world applications.
Additionally, IonQ is exploring a growing number of quantum
algorithms across fields such as AI, financial services, and
cybersecurity, reinforcing its commitment to real-world quantum
technology applications.
Currently, IonQ operates two quantum data centers—one at its
headquarters in College Park, Maryland, and another in Seattle,
Washington, which the company opened earlier this year. Later this
year, IonQ will expand its footprint by bringing its quantum data
center in Basel, Switzerland, online. All of these locations are
dedicated to supporting the needs of IonQ’s customers.
This momentum underscores IonQ's leadership in the quantum
computing industry and robust industry demand. IonQ's enterprise
strategy and expanding infrastructure highlight its dedication to
unlocking commercial advantage by collaborating with industry
leaders and making cutting-edge, well-balanced, quantum technology
available ahead of schedule.
