Yesterday, Texas Rep. Giovanni Capriglione introduced the Texas Quantum Initiative (HB4751) in the 89th Legislature – marking a historic step toward making Texas a national leader in quantum computing, networking, and sensing. At #SXSW, Rep. Capriglione, IonQ VP of Sales & Strategic Partnerships Philip Farah, and Strangeworks CEO William Hurley discussed their vision for Texas’ quantum future. The panel covered why Texas is ideally positioned to take a leading role on the national and global quantum stage given its combination of world-class universities, thriving startup ecosystem, 50 Fortune 500 companies, and a $25B budget surplus this funding cycle. A bold quantum initiative can provide the required infrastructure, academic funding, and corporate incentives to enable Texas to capture an oversized share of the $1T economic quantum opportunity that McKinsey is predicting for 2035. We are excited to support Texas's groundbreaking initiative and look forward to seeing the state take a significant role in the quantum revolution! #QuantumComputing #TexasQuantumInitiative #Innovation

At #SXSW, IonQ’s Tim Rogers joined an exciting discussion alongside Q-CTRL and Amazon Web Services (AWS), highlighting the power of collaboration in quantum computing. The discussion emphasized how to optimize the entire quantum stack – from hardware to software – ensuring that real-world quantum insights are more accessible than ever. Tim highlighted IonQ’s progress toward developing commercially viable quantum applications and how we’re taking advantage of cloud-based quantum computing. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with quantum technology. #QuantumComputing #Innovation

Next up in IonQ’s #WomensHistoryMonth spotlight series is Rachel Noek, Technical Program manager for Tempo, who plays a key role in bringing our next-generation quantum computing product from ideation to production. ✅ Rachel has dedicated most of her career to quantum computing, beginning with her PhD research at Duke University, where she developed high-fidelity state detection techniques for trapped ions. ✅ Rachel went on to be the technical program manager for the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity funded Error-corrected Universal Reconfigurable Ion-trap Quantum Archetype (EURIQA), which brought together leading researchers from four universities and three companies – the EURIQA program developed the basis for IonQ’s first quantum computer. ✅ Rachel is passionate about quantum computing’s world-changing potential, and she enjoys the satisfaction and accomplishment that comes with solving complex challenges in this field and breaking the barriers of computing as we know it.  ✅ An early inspiration for Rachel was a mentor at Sandia National Laboratories, Dr. Jerilyn Timlin, a creative, trailblazing scientist, who showed Rachel that balancing a fulfilling scientific career with family life is both possible and extremely rewarding.  Rachel’s journey underscores the innovation, leadership, and passion that fuel IonQ’s mission. Stay tuned as we continue to highlight the remarkable women shaping the future of quantum computing.  #QuantumComputing #WomenInSTEM #IonQ

IonQ CEO Niccolo De Masi joined the Six Five Media to discuss the quantum revolution and why IonQ is leading the charge in this cutting-edge field. Niccolo shared how IonQ systems outpace competitors when it comes to computing power, sustainability, and commercial advantage, noting that IonQ is the only quantum provider with systems available across all three major clouds, right now. He emphasized that IonQ is manufacturing and selling quantum machines today and is focused on expanding our customer base of government and academic institutions in addition to commercial enterprises. As AI reshaped computing with GPUs, quantum will do the same, delivering breakthroughs in sustainability, security, and performance. Catch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gJp7-2Sr

IonQ continues to make the rounds at #SXSW in Austin, meeting industry leaders and sharing more about the potential of quantum computing. Yesterday, IonQ’s Chief Revenue Officer, Rima Alameddine, joined TreQ’s Mandy Birch, IBM’s Charles Chung, and Vizias’ Jay Boisseau to discuss the path to mainstream quantum computing. The panel addressed the problems quantum can solve for businesses and the challenges of scaling quantum technologies. Rima touched on the time and knowledge it takes to develop quantum algorithms, underscoring why it’s important for businesses to invest in talent and expertise now if they want to lead in this emerging field. IonQ also hosted a social event at Remedy, bringing together quantum innovators, enthusiasts, and industry leaders to network and exchange ideas. Special thanks to Jay Boisseau for helping coordinate and to Texas Rep Linda Garcia, Google’s William Magro, Q-CTRL’s Michael Biercuk, Strangeworks’ William Hurley, and UK government VC Meredith Fisher for stopping by!

IonQ’s Matthew Keesan recently participated in InformationWeek’s podcast panel “What Will Be Quantum Computing’s Role in the Cloud?” Matthew shared insight on how quantum computing is available, today, through the cloud – in IonQ’s case across all three hyperscaler cloud services. He shared how cloud access to quantum will ultimately lead to broad availability of quantum for solving some of the world’s most challenging problems. His contributions underscore IonQ’s commitment to advancing quantum technologies that integrate seamlessly with cloud platforms. Listen to the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/eJVaaY8s

IonQ now owns or controls nearly 400 patents for quantum networking as we build momentum toward our technological roadmap. According to McKinsey & Company, the total quantum communication market size is projected to reach upwards of $14.9 billion by 2035 driven by a growing need for scaling quantum computing through distributed networks, and a need for new data security solutions.

This weekend at SXSW, IonQ joined a powerful discussion on the future of quantum technology, innovation hubs, and startup success stories. During the "Quantifying Quantum" panel, IonQ’s Margaret Arakawa and Corey McClelland, EPB’s Janet Rehberg, PMP, CEM, and Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative’s Charlie Brock explored the cutting-edge quantum ecosystem taking shape in Chattanooga, TN. From pioneering advancements to key takeaways from IonQ’s recent acquisition of Qubitekk, the session was packed with insights on how quantum is shaping the future. Thank you to all who attended and contributed to this important conversation, including Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly. Stay tuned for more highlights from IonQ at SXSW this week.  #QuantumComputing #QuantumNetworking #SXSW2025

Last night, IonQ’s Margaret Arakawa, Jane Mazur, and Trevor Chaloux had the privilege of attending the Maryland Marketing Partnership (MMP) reception hosted by Maryland Governor and First Lady Wes and Dawn Moore, Lt. Governor Aruna Miller, Secretary of State Susan Lee, and Acting Secretary, Maryland Commerce Harry Coker, Jr. in Annapolis. Thanks to the great leaders in Maryland for including IonQ in this special evening for their unwavering support for advancing quantum in the state and beyond.
