This slide's my new North Star, fam. IonQ's stopped thinking in silos. Compute, networking, sensing, security are not separate pillars anymore, they're runtime gears feeding each other. IonQ's wiring coherence across the stack. It's a tech company turning into infrastructure.

Been thinking about this all week. The old boundaries between memory, transport, and compute are starting to blur. Lightsynq made it possible to hold quantum states long enough for them to matter. Oxford sped up the local operations that act on them. And the work coming out of

Worth pausing on this. Einride didn't "try" quantum. They spent years building a real optimization engine, then pulled quantum in when it made sense. It's how this actually scales.

I respect morning tea drinkers. I just can't be one of them.

Great catch by @ATURULLAO4. The institutions that matter are already redesigning trust and verification around quantum. The world isn't waiting. It's adapting payments, identity, and secure messaging right now. IonQ is right in that seam, not as a chip vendor, but as part of the

Looking at this diagram I noticed something small but interesting. The Fire Opal stack seems like the missing piece that ties together the other two papers from this week. The one where the hardware nudges itself toward better answers, and the one where even slow links still

📄 Paper Alert Advantage in distributed quantum computing with slow interconnects What stood out to me in this paper is how directly it challenges the usual assumptions about scaling. We're used to thinking faster links are the prerequisite for distributed quantum computing, but

It's been interesting to watch Europe come together around IonQ this year. Sweden is where the commercial workloads started to land. Slovakia is standing up real quantum secure infrastructure. Italy is leaning into compute and research. And the UK is becoming an anchor point with

📄 Paper Alert Transpiling quantum circuits by a transformers-based algorithm Everyone talks about qubits, but the compiler is the real control plane. This new paper from an Italian research team is a reminder that the companies who master AI-native transpilation will win the

Capella gives IonQ the classical side of an orbital quantum link. FPGAs, RFSoCs, picosecond timing, and hardware that can survive radiation without losing determinism. But the real picture only comes into focus when you layer in Lightsynq and Vector Atomic. Lightsynq brings the

Great find by @paullecoque. Capella's FPGA stack already looks like the classical side of a quantum networking payload. Picosecond timing, RFSoC SDRs, radiation environments where a single particle can literally rewrite your logic. It's the kind of hardware you need to run

🧵 1⃣ A lot of people still assume quantum progress will come from deeper circuits. More layers, more parameters, more qubits. But every now and then a paper reminds you there are other scaling paths hiding in plain sight. 2⃣ The Iterative-QAOA work from Martin Roetteler and

📄 Paper Alert A Non-Variational Quantum Approach to the Job Shop Scheduling Problem The interesting part of this paper from Martin Roetteler and the IonQ team isn't the algorithm. It's that Iterative-QAOA basically turns the quantum device into its own optimizer. No variational

Chattanooga and UChicago are folding quantum into the places they already live and work. EPB bringing Vanderbilt researchers right into the utility environment feels less like a big announcement and more like a city quietly deciding that quantum is part of its future now. And

@rrhoover My mentor once told me he could always find room in his life for the things that truly mattered. He was right.

This Einride release is straightforward. A live commercial freight network is now using quantum to optimize real routes, energy use, and constraints inside an actual logistics stack. It's not a pilot or a demo, it's production workload. And it's an early look at how quantum

"Einride's unique depth of operational data allows IonQ to use quantum optimization in conditions that are both commercially relevant and technically challenging."

What really stood out in this Italy piece is how directly they're positioning Rome as a sovereign quantum node. They're treating quantum as industrial strategy, not adoption, and IonQ is the lever that lets them step into that role. It's rare to see a government claim origin

The pieces are starting to come together. Hydrogen endurance, low-signature platforms, quantum sensing don't feel like separate tracks anymore. They're all pointing in a similar direction, and Levinson's post makes that a little easier to see.

IonQ CEO Niccolo de Masi spoke at DefenseTalks 2025 in DC alongside leaders from the Dept. of War, US Army, DHA, USTRANSCOM, and US Navy. He outlined IonQ’s full-stack quantum roadmap, work with AFRL, advances in quantum networking and sensing, and our new partnership with Heven
