Driving efficiency and unparalleled flexibility
Architecture that enables expansive growth
Meeting real-world needs.
In collaboration with AstraZeneca, AWS, and NVIDIA, IonQ executed the largest quantum-accelerated electronic structure simulation performed to date. This groundbreaking approach accelerated the complex chemistry simulation by at least 656 times.
IonQ's quantum fine-tuning is a hybrid approach that adds a quantum layer to classical AI models. This method makes LLMs smarter and more efficient by capturing higher-dimensional patterns that classical systems miss.
IonQ partnered with a leading global automotive manufacturer, applying quantum-classical AI to solve critical materials science challenges. Our model successfully generated higher-fidelity synthetic data for steel microstructures.
IonQ is pioneering the use of quantum-grade diamond thin films, a breakthrough that allows diamond quantum devices to be manufactured at an industrial scale. This approach leverages semiconductor techniques, dramatically simplifying manufacturing.
For self driving cars to become a reality, vehicles must interface with road signs in the physical world. In our work with Hyundai, we explored loading images of road signs into our quantum computers for analysis. With only 8 qubits, we successfully trained a quantum machine learning image recognition algorithm to recognize common road signs with fewer input parameters than comparable classical approaches.
Forget translating your work into yet another quantum SDK. IonQ works with all of the most popular cloud providers, libraries and tools. Just sign in and get to work.
T1 & T2 Time - Two factors of the amount of time a qubit “stays a qubit,” T1 measures how long you can tell what’s a one vs a zero, and T2 measures phase coherence.
