IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing industry, announced it has achieved the next milestone on the path towards scaling its quantum systems – demonstrating remote ion-ion entanglement. Building off the ion-photon entanglement achievement announced in February, this demonstration announced in September showcases the second out of four significant milestones required to develop photonic interconnects – a foundational step towards quantum networking and a core component of IonQ’s scaling strategy. IonQ’s world-class R&D team entangled two trapped ion qubits from separate trap wells using entangled photons to achieve these results. The IonQ team achieved remote entanglement by developing a system to collect photons from two trap wells and routing them to a single detection hub. This critical “point-to-point” step established a quantum communication link – an essential piece in scaling quantum systems. While IonQ has always intended to implement photonic interconnects in its systems, never before has any company demonstrated the ability to bring this technology to an integration stage within a commercially available, enterprise-grade quantum computer.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE - Quantum Brilliance Marcus Doherty, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Quantum Brilliance predicts key trends in quantum technology in 2025 for The Quantum Insider as follow   In 2025, we predict diamond technology will become an increasing part of overall industry conversation as more companies realize the potential of using diamond-based quantum systems in data centers and edge applications. The chief advantage to diamond technology is that it allows for room-temperature quantum computing, without the need for large mainframes. It also eliminates the need for absolute zero temperature and complex laser systems. As such, diamond technology allows for smaller, portable quantum devices that can be used in all sorts of locations and environments, ultimately bringing us closer to scaling quantum devices. We expect that more agencies will launch plans to build mobile quantum devices, after Germany's Cyber Agency awarded us a joint contract to build the world’s first mobile quantum computer. We also expect significant advances in hybridized and parallelized quantum computing. Our partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory that we entered in September 2024 will continue to yield advancements in both applications. Also, diamond quantum sensors will enter into manufacturing to address scalable markets in defense, aerospace, automotive, mining and healthcare. Specific use cases will include GPS-free positioning and navigation, geophysical and infrastructure surveying, and medical imaging. This will drive demand for diamond quantum materials, components and integrated device manufacturing capabilities as well as new device design tools to support increased performance and manufacturability. https://lnkd.in/gSUaSzFW #quantumbrilliance #OakRidgeNationalLaboratory #diamondtechnology #diamondquantumsensors #diamonds #quantumdevices #scaling #thequantuminsider

💡𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐐𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐀’𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞!💡 📨 Significant breakthrough in quantum networking was achieved by creating, storing, and retrieving quantum information using a quantum dot single-photon source interfaced with an rubidium vapour-based atomic quantum memory. This marks a crucial step towards developing a quantum internet. What does this mean? Quantum communication networks can breakdown over long distances due to signal decoherence and noise, and so are often separated into smaller sections. To link these sections, there must be highly reliable memory systems at each node. This development, led by teams from Imperial College London, University of Southampton, University of Stuttgart and University of Würzburg, enhances the potential for secure, long-distance quantum communications by combining popular fibre-based telecoms with alkali-metal vapour technologies.
