<\/a><\/p>\n

Quantum computing startup IonQ<\/a> today announced its road map for the next few years \u2014 following a similar move from IBM in September<\/a> \u2014 and it\u2019s quite ambitious, to say the least.<\/p>\n

At our Disrupt event earlier this year, IonQ<\/a> CEO and president Peter Chapman suggested<\/a> that we were only five years away from having desktop quantum computers. That\u2019s not something you\u2019ll likely hear from the company\u2019s competitors \u2014 who also often use a very different kind of quantum technology \u2014 but IonQ now says that it will be able to sell modular, rack-mounted quantum computers for the data center in 2023 and that by 2025, its systems will be powerful enough to achieve broad quantum advantage across a wide variety of use cases.<\/p>\n

In an interview ahead of today\u2019s announcement, Chapman showed me a prototype of the hardware the company is working on for 2021, which fits on a workbench. The actual quantum chip is currently the size of a half-dollar and the company is now working on essentially putting the core of its technology on a single chip, with all of the optics that make its system work integrated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
