Big news out of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL): researchers have successfully transmitted an entangled quantum signal over a commercial fiber-optic network without any downtime. It's a mouthful, but here's why it's a big deal.

ORNL partnered with EPB and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to show that quantum signals can be transmitted reliably over existing commercial networks, even in tough conditions like temperature swings or wind affecting the cables. They used a new method called automatic polarization stabilization (APC) to keep the signals stable for 30 hours straight—no interruptions.

This breakthrough is part of building the "quantum internet." A future network that could securely connect quantum computers, sensors, and more. Think of it as laying the groundwork for the next-generation internet, but much faster and safer.

This is where it gets exciting for IonQ investors. IonQ recently acquired Qubitekk, a company that worked on this exact project with ORNL. Qubitekk's expertise in quantum networking now strengthens IonQ's portfolio, positioning it as a key player in both quantum computing and the quantum internet.

The ORNL project shows that the infrastructure is being built to support quantum's future. IonQ is right in the mix, expanding its capabilities beyond computing into communications and networking.

You’re both right. Sort of. Check out heterogeneous quantum computing. Using 3 of the main different quantum machines ( The three main types of quantum computing are based on how qubits are used and manipulated to perform computations. These types are:

1. Quantum Annealing
   •   Description: Quantum annealing is designed for solving optimization problems by finding the lowest-energy state (global minimum) of a system. It focuses on specific tasks rather than general-purpose computation.
   •   Applications:
      •   Optimization problems (e.g., logistics, financial modeling)
      •   Machine learning and AI
   •   Example: D-Wave quantum computers specialize in quantum annealing.

2. Gate-Based Quantum Computing
   •   Description: This is the most versatile and general-purpose form of quantum computing. It uses quantum gates (similar to classical logic gates) to manipulate qubits and perform calculations. Algorithms like Shor’s and Grover’s are designed for this type.
   •   Applications:
      •   Cryptography (e.g., breaking RSA encryption)
      •   Quantum simulations for chemistry and physics
      •   Complex problem solving (e.g., factoring large numbers)
   •   Example: IBM Quantum, Google’s Sycamore, and IonQ.

3. Topological Quantum Computing
   •   Description: This emerging approach uses “anyons” (quasiparticles) that form braids in a two-dimensional plane. The braiding patterns represent quantum information, providing robustness to errors.
   •   Applications:
      •   Fault-tolerant quantum computing
      •   Scalable quantum systems
   •   Example: Microsoft is actively researching this method, though it is still in development.

Each type of quantum computing has strengths tailored to specific use cases, and ongoing advancements may further blend or redefine these categories. ). hooked together to get quantum supremacy along with a classical super to control all the data for a quad hybrid system if you will. Is this the answer? I don’t know. Maybe someone is just floating this idea to throw shade on IonQ’s lead in trapped ion systems? Who knows. But if heterogeneous is the answer then IonQ can produce all 3 in their factory and stay on top. We shall see if this is true, or all bs soon put out there by the laggards. This fight to the top could get ugly. A lot of money at stake here. Do your homework.

Dont worry, the government will be all in on quantum. They will find many uses for it and maintaining military superiority will be at the top of that list.

Nefarious uses won't be limited to private industry. The political class will want an edge as well.

I hate to say this but i dont think the development of quantum should be left solely to the free market. The greed and power that comes from dominating this technology will take us to places we dont want to go. I hope you are right about a governing board of experts that will guide us in the safe direction

I agree. That’s why I said it was a year old. The search for quantum’s secret sauce is being targeted by many companies and they all seem to be chasing it with different technicals. They all think they have the right path. It’s not uncommon for that but wouldn’t it be great if they all agreed to what’s the best path to take to then spend their talent, money and engineering efforts to achieve the goal of bringing quantum to the world?

The more I learn the less I know about quantum.

The speed and trajectory of the quantum reality are beyond comprehension of most myself included but when you hear the experts theorizing on accessing paralell universes and multidimensions and how their understanding of quantum physics is in a state of continuos epiphanal discovery then you must know that what happened a year ago is almost insignifecant to the current state of the reality

This is year old but is a good read:

Two steps forward and one step back. I guess that is expected after a run like yesterday.

. The smart money speculates that quantum will make parallel universes and multidimensions accessible. Kaku said this experience made him realize that his understanding of quantum physics was erroneous. The story is the chip went sentient and began downloading data from an as yet unknown intelligence which was beyond our ability to comprehend. It seems that this is much bigger than just a bunch guys picking the right stock

I’m reading where Trumps first picks will be the “ initial” partners, meaning more partners to come like IonQ? You betcha ! What ever happened to her anyway ? Ionq is going to be in there as it is the leader in quantum computing , and also quantum networking. Big plus. All this new infrastructure will have to be all hooked together and be able to communicate seamlessly through new quantum API’s etc . Cuda-Q and IonQ Quantum Services Suite. Especially the heterogeneous approach . i e using 3 or more different types of quantum computers all hooked together in one system along with a classical super computer. Exciting times ahead. Hands and feet inside the car. And no standing up Peter!

Life in the quantum lane
Everything all the time

Keep your eye on IonQ.

Quantum Computing Stocks Pop As Investors Mull President Trump's First Moves

https://finance.yahoo.com/m/0636b8ba-e65c-3b6d-827b-e15311f44c74/quantum-computing-stocks-pop.html

Wikipedia says he is Taiwanese American. Makes more sense why he may have chosen to visit at this time.

You’ve got a point. Curious why it was more important to be overseas coinciding with the inaugural. I’m no expert on the matter but it potentially gives the appearance of being a political decision. JMO

You’ve got a point. Curious why it was more important to be overseas coinciding with the inaugural. Seems political. JMO

Yes I did. Michio is a stand up guy. Great writer. Way ahead of his time.

Trump Oval Office: Hi Jensen come on in, glad you could make it on short notice. Have a seat, how was your trip? 
Jensen Huang: It was Great Mr President, Chairman Xi sends his regards. 
Trump: Oh did he, that's great Jensen. Too bad you don't work for me Jensen. 
Jensen: Why's that Mr President?
Trump: Well, so I could fire you... chuckle, wink, wink. Yours and Zuckerbergs cracks about Quantum taking 15-30 years was pretty ludicrous. 
Even Disaster Joe wouldn't have said stupid stuff like that? 

Why is everyone going to chat gpt now to find out what the future holds? If chat doesn’t mention Ionq in answering the question put to it does that really mean anything?

Question for chat gpt…Does chat gpt know everything?

I wish Peter Chapman would have been more time specific in his interview instead of saying he believes IONQ will be profitable and have revenues of $1 billion by 2030. Is the next 10Q on 2/26/25?

Did you know about Michio Kaku and the Google sycamore chip

I have to say I’m amazed IONQ closed over $45. Inauguration bounce or just people settling down and evaluating?
Hopefully both!

Is this even on the board?

In June 2021, IonQ and SoftBank Investment Advisers announced a strategic partnership
The partnership aims to expand access to IonQ's quantum computers globally
The partnership also allows IonQ to put its quantum hardware in the hands of entrepreneurs, builders, and problem-solvers around the world

SoftBank is a holding company that invests in IonQ, a quantum computing company. The two companies have partnered to expand access to quantum computing globally

t to j communications must have occurred.? CBS News reported Tuesday Trump will announce a new private sector investment to build artificial intelligence infrastructure in the US, with Oracle, ChatGPT-creator OpenAI, and Japanese conglomerate Softbank (9984.T) among those committing to the joint venture.

The joint venture, called Stargate, is expected to begin with a data center project in Texas, CBS reported, and company execs are expected to commit to an initial investment of $100 billion at an appearance at the White House Tuesday. Other companies are expected to join the venture and bring investment in the program up to $500 billion in the coming years.

SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, OpenAI chief Sam Altman, and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison are all expected to be in attendance at Tuesday's event.

I agree. If the federal government chooses IonQ to build out their entire quantum network and infrastructure, then watch out... Likely a 300% jump in day type of deal.

The excitement and frenzy hasnt started yet It will be unlike anything weve seen

Homework : Heterogeneous quantum computing refers to the integration and utilization of multiple types of quantum computing hardware or systems, often in conjunction with classical computing, to solve complex problems more efficiently. The idea is to leverage the unique strengths of different quantum platforms and technologies, as well as the powerful processing capabilities of classical computers, for a diverse range of applications.

Key Concepts in Heterogeneous Quantum Computing:
1. Multi-Architecture Quantum Systems:
Different quantum hardware platforms (e.g., superconducting qubits, trapped ions, photonic qubits) have varying strengths, such as coherence times, gate fidelities, or scalability. A heterogeneous approach combines these systems to optimize performance for specific tasks.
2. Quantum-Classical Integration:
Combining quantum and classical computing systems in a hybrid architecture is a form of heterogeneity. Classical systems handle tasks like error correction, optimization, or pre/post-processing of quantum data.
3. Application-Specific Optimization:
Certain quantum platforms may be better suited for specific applications:
      •   Optimization Problems: Quantum annealers like those from D-Wave.
      •   General Quantum Algorithms: Universal quantum computers like those using superconducting qubits (e.g., IBM, Google).
      •   High-Precision Simulations: Trapped-ion systems.
4. Middleware and Interoperability:
To support heterogeneous quantum computing, middleware solutions are necessary to allow different platforms to communicate seamlessly, manage workflows, and optimize resource allocation.

Benefits of Heterogeneous Quantum Computing:
   •   Flexibility: Combines the strengths of different systems to address diverse problems.
   •   Scalability: Distributes workloads across various architectures for efficient scaling.
   •   Reduced Limitations: Mitigates the weaknesses of any single quantum platform by leveraging complementary technologies.

Challenges:
   •   Interoperability: Ensuring seamless communication between different quantum and classical systems.
   •   Complexity: Increased system complexity requires advanced orchestration and resource management.
   •   Error Correction: Addressing errors across diverse quantum systems with varying error profiles is a significant challenge.

Current Developments:

Many organizations and research labs are exploring heterogeneous quantum systems. Companies like IBM, Google, IonQ, and Rigetti are building hybrid quantum-classical systems, while others like Pasqal and QuEra are working on combining different quantum platforms. Efforts in creating unified quantum programming languages, such as Qiskit and Cirq, also support heterogeneous quantum computing development.

Let me know if you’d like more details or examples!

why is tiktok so enticing to usa tech? a lot of eyeballs but they're likely laying out a lot of cash to buy the creators loyalty?
softbank is major investor in byte dance.
softbank partner of nvidia/msft sql/dell vce hpc/ add quantum computing units of 3 or more types ? perhaps, google, ionq, and nuera? transmon, charged ion, neutral ion?
oracle cloud infrastructure is basically 8x8? with former 8 infrastructure guy now the svp of infrastructure for oracle cloud.
global footprint including big time in china.
for participating countries, sovereign data ip via 8 and softbank using 8 zerigo, wags.
and trump said he wanted to have usa equity position in tiktok...usa company or usa?
segue that concept to vcsy and maybe 8x8?
in particular, the external revenue service/8x8 payment ip cloud/access to usa quantum computing, supercomputing, ai? 'with jensen in talks with the taiwanese computer ceo's obtaining their cooperation? a move which could help offset china invasion talk?

It’s possible Doc. I think these guys know all about Vcsy and their patents and have for 20 years. Mark Benioff is an early investor in IonQ and was run off by Wade in a joint venture with V like all others in jv’s with Wade. Luiz C. Valdetaro would fit in quite nicely at IonQ imo. We shall see. I have a feeling he would like to be a part of this new quantum renaissance after not getting any real recognition for 2 decades. Stay tuned. The Golden Age begins right now.

streaming gates...pre formed and tested? kona, some snappnet? wags.

The minute Trump says the word “quantum “
Katie bar the door. I strongly encourage everyone to load up on IonQ before that happens. Once that happens the price will rise faster than anyone could have ever imagined. Quantum + AI will supercharge Americas lead around the world in everything from new medicines to secure communications, to supply chain management to doge , finance management , materials science , a much stronger military and economy overall and beyond to new discoveries that were not thought to be possible in our lifetime. Quantum is now. Not 20 years from now. And the second Trump says the word quantum on national t v , everything will happen very quickly. So go check those couch cushions again, cash in all those cans and bottles you have just lying around.Sell some losers/laggards. Remember. When you’re sitting on your assets. You’re sitting on your ass.
