Peter Chapman, CEO and president at IonQ, discusses IonQ going public via a special purpose acquisition company deal with dMY Technology Group. IonQ will have a market capitalization of $2 billion. Chapman believes quantum computing will become mainstream and real-life issues it can solve. Quantum computing is very good at optimization problems with a cost …
60 graphical processing units (GPUs) have been used to solve the Google quantum supremacy computer problem. Researchers generated one million correlated bitstrings with some entries fixed, from the Sycamore circuit with 53 qubits and 20 cycles, with linear cross-entropy benchmark (XEB) fidelity equals 0.739, which is much higher than those in Google’s quantum supremacy experiment. …
IonQ will merge dMY Technology Group III, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company. The deal will close in a few months after a review by the SEC and a shareholder vote. IonQ will be worth an estimated $1993 million after the deal. 64% or $1275 mlllion will be owned by IonQ pre-transaction shareholders. IonQ is the …
Honeywell has upgraded the commercial trapped ion quantum computer System Model H1 and achieved a quantum volume of 512.
