IonQ passes DARPA’s first two tests for utility-scale quantum

Quantum ZeitgeistOctober 8, 20263 min read

IonQ will advance to Stage C of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, following successful completion of Stage A and Stage B. The Stage C agreement has a potential value of up to $300 million and will deliver multiple generations of quantum systems for DARPA’s independent validation, determining if systems can reach utility scale.

IonQ will deliver multiple generations of quantum systems to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency after securing a Stage C agreement potentially worth $300 million. The advancement follows successful completion of earlier stages in DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, validating IonQ’s approach to building large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers, the company says. “Advancing to Stage C is a significant…
