IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) has achieved a significant milestone in developing networked quantum systems at scale by demonstrating remote ion-ion entanglement. This breakthrough, announced in September, marks the second of four key milestones required to develop photonic interconnects, a important step towards quantum networking and a core component of IonQ's scaling strategy.
The company's R&D team successfully entangled two trapped ion qubits from separate trap wells using entangled photons. This achievement involved developing a system to collect photons from two trap wells and routing them to a single detection hub, establishing a critical "point-to-point" quantum communication link.
IonQ's progress in photonic interconnects brings them closer to integrating this technology into commercially available, enterprise-grade quantum computers. The company's scaling strategy focuses on balancing performance, scale, and enterprise-grade capabilities to achieve commercial quantum advantage.
IonQ, a leader in quantum computing, has secured a $54.5 million contract with the United States Air Force Research Lab (AFRL). This deal marks the largest 2024 U.S. quantum contract award and accelerates IonQ's expansion into the $15 billion quantum networking market. With $72.8 million in bookings year-to-date, IonQ is confident in meeting or exceeding its $75-95 million bookings guidance for the year.
The company has demonstrated impressive growth, nearly doubling revenue annually since going public in 2021. IonQ has achieved compound annual growth rates of almost 100% for sales and nearly 225% for recognized revenue. The AFRL partnership focuses on developing technology for scaling, networking, and deploying quantum systems over four years.
IonQ's recent successes include a contract extension with Amazon Web Services and a $9 million deal with the University of Maryland. These developments underscore IonQ's growing influence in both government and commercial sectors of the quantum computing industry.
IonQ, a leader in quantum computing, will participate in the Fast Company Innovation Festival from September 16-19 in New York City.
