Preparing for a Quantum Leap

With all the buzz around AI, one has to wonder what’s next in tech. Many would argue it’s quantum computing, a multidisciplinary field that, at its core, uses quantum mechanics to solve problems too complex for standard computers. Understand why tech giants, researchers, and investors see quantum computing as the next big leap—and where you should lean in.

“The Fast Company Innovation Festival is a unique event where tech influencers and today’s most important minds in the world of business, entertainment, and media come together to inform and shape the future,” said Margaret Arakawa, Chief Marketing Office at IonQ. “I’m excited to help demystify quantum computing and its massive impact on society as IonQ continues to accelerate innovation in areas such as life sciences, logistics, AI, and energy.”

IonQ announced last month that it was selected by the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) for a quantum networking contract to design a first-of-its-kind, networked system for blind quantum computing. In addition to government customers, IonQ works with global enterprise customers and leading academic institutions. Last month, IonQ announced a multi-million-dollar extension of its contract with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to offer its world-class quantum computers via Amazon Braket, the quantum computing service of AWS. Last week, the company announced a $9M deal with the University of Maryland to partner on quantum programs and provide access to their state-of-the-art quantum computers.

IonQ is focused on building the most powerful and scalable quantum computers in the world while delivering enterprise-grade solutions today. To learn more about IonQ and its latest system news and business developments, visit https://ionq.com/.
