IonQ

IonQ’s trapped‑ion technology delivers superior accuracy (99.99% 2‑qubit gate fidelity on a 256‑qubit system) compared with Rigetti’s superconducting approach (99.1% on 108 qubits), trading processing speed for fidelity. IonQ has stronger commercial traction and scale, reporting $80.1 million in Q2 revenue and over $2 billion in cash and short‑term investments versus Rigetti’s $5.1 million revenue and about $500 million cash. Both companies remain unprofitable and high‑risk, but the article concludes IonQ has a better chance of succeeding given its accuracy and financial position. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com

Insiders at IonQ, Rigetti and D-Wave have sold a combined net of about $863 million of stock over the trailing three years, with IonQ accounting for $457.2 million. Insider buying was negligible (IonQ $3.32m, Rigetti $0, D-Wave $1,795), raising concern about management conviction. The companies trade at extreme price-to-sales ratios (IonQ 59, Rigetti 398, D-Wave 542), prompting warnings that valuations may be stretched as quantum computing remains nascent. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com

IONQ has signed a non-binding letter of intent with CMC Microsystems to be listed as a provider of cloud-based access to its quantum computing systems via Canada’s FABrIC Quantum Computing Sandbox. The initiative, funded from the Strategic Response Fund and part of a $217 million program to strengthen the semiconductor ecosystem, is intended to give Canadian researchers and small and medium-sized enterprises technical support and access to commercial quantum hardware. The agreement does not commit either party to final contracts and may be terminated by either side. » Altro su de.investing.com
