IonQ, Inc. had been awarded a contract in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)?s Heterogeneous Architectures for Quantum (HARQ) program. As a part of HARQ, IonQ plays a critical role in enabling a new class of networked quantum computers that combine distinct qubit types?such as trapped ions, neutral atoms, and/or superconducting qubits?into an interconnected, high-performance architecture taking advantage of each modality?s strengths. This effort seeks to leverage advances in photonic integration and quantum interconnects for reliable communication between diverse qubit species.
IonQ?s contribution to the HARQ program focuses on quantum memories, which are the core chips around which IonQ?s quantum interconnect systems are built. IonQ?s memories are field-leaders in networking applications ranging from datacenter-scale interconnects to advanced long-distance entanglement distribution networks, and are well-suited to supporting HARQ?s ambitious ultimate speed and fidelity targets. IonQ?s involvement in HARQ supports the company?s mission to deliver on its aggressive commercial and technical goals.
IonQ, Inc. is engaged in the quantum computing and networking industry, delivering high-performance systems capable of solving complex commercial and research use cases. Its generation quantum computers, IonQ Forte and IonQ Forte Enterprise, are cutting-edge systems, boasting 36 algorithmic qubits. It sells specialized quantum computing and networking hardware together with related maintenance and support. It also sells access to several quantum computers of various qubit capacities and is in the process of researching and developing technologies for quantum computers with increasing computational capabilities. It makes access to its quantum computers available via three cloud platforms, Amazon Web Services' (AWS) Amazon Braket, Microsoft's Azure Quantum and Google's Cloud Marketplace, and also to select customers via its own cloud service. Its product portfolio also includes quantum key distribution (QKD) systems, quantum random number generators (QRNGs), and single-photon detectors.
