Sad how you have to attack the opinion of others. Perhaps it is you who lacks understanding, which is part of your flawed character.

I guess you believe the past administration was wonderful? You wouldn't consider grift on a grand scale part of a flawed character? Or how about the failure to follow federal immigration law, or the SCOTUS decision regarding student loans.

I guess in your eyes those wouldn't be considered character flaws, failing to follow the law or decisions from the highest court in the land, since you apparently support those transgressions?

We are all flawed individuals and should constantly seek to improve ourselves.

IMO. Huge news is coming from Japan with another data center opening there or in S Korea or both. They have both been collaborating for awhile. One does not want the other to upstage them. Leverage Niccolo. Use it. The Art of the deal. We have what they want.

The current n y s e software details are not currently publicly disclosed. So who knows?

Flawed characters are never a good leader. Apparently you have little understanding. Enough said!

might be winning and the guys have been drafted into the military?

wsj says chinese govt officials said they were involved with hacks of usa. they told the biden administration.
might be a reason for the hard line of president trump toward them?

ionq in japan, hydrogen and new supercomputer being built. add some ionq quantum?
ionq in soko, theyve been using some quantum cloud ip for a bit. i wonder whose.

ionq and nyse.....they've been touting it.

nyse needs a little pr help. new technologies to go with new arbitrary objects and framework? nyse used to crow about their use of borland/delphi, but no longer. so whose objects might they be using in the trading framework? for the data ai and analysis?

kona, any ideas?

Thought some more about your comments about the globalists. You certainly are correct that the open criticism of the US and America last policies started under obama/biden.

However, the actual foundation for the globalist policies was started under bush41 and clinton with NAFTA, outsourcing jobs and thereby crushing manufacturing and sending the wealth and innovation overseas.

Then bush 43 comes in and keeps saying we cant do it alone, pushing us toward all of these global alliances.

More recently, the world sat idly by while houthi rebels/pirates robbed and attacked ships disrupting world shipping lanes. Then the new administration came in and took care of that problem. Surprise...we can do it alone!

Hopefully, IONQ develops into a quantum powerhouse and gives the US an edge with technology. It sure seems like it is headed in that direction.

IONQ looking good, despite a bad day for the markets. Breaking out of the red.

Wish I could have seen IONQ's chip at the the NY stock exchange lobby the other week when I was in NYC...my friend who works the floor was unable to make it.

GO!!!

Sometimes the truth hurts. Go IonQ !!!

A Year of Quantum Milestones

“As we observe World Quantum Day, we’re excited about the growth of our quantum computing and networking business and the number of applications we are working on that showcase superior results when combining our quantum computers with classical high performance computing,” said Niccolo de Masi, President and CEO, IonQ. “Over the past year, we exceeded the high end of our bookings guidance range and grew our global presence with the delivery of IonQ Forte Enterprise in Switzerland and through new partnerships around the world. These efforts are pushing the boundaries of what's possible and paving the way for new quantum applications that solve real-world problems.”

IonQ’s notable achievements over the past year reflect continued progress against its technical roadmap and strategic business goals, including:

Demonstrating breakthrough use cases showcasing quantum acceleration: In collaboration with Ansys, a leader in the Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) industry, IonQ demonstrated that pre-processing data using quantum technology before using it to perform simulations using Ansys’ LS-DYNA applications improved simulation processing speed by up to 12% compared to classical computing, and that speed-up is expected to increase with IonQ’s future systems.
Expanding into quantum networking: IonQ strengthened its position in quantum networking by securing a controlling stake of ID Quantique (IDQ), a global leader in quantum safe networking and sensing and acquiring Qubitekk in 2024.
Growing an impressive patent portfolio: IonQ now owns or controls over 930 patents for both quantum computing and networking related technologies.
Securing multiple quantum computing and networking contracts: IonQ landed contracts that include the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS), as well as the University of Maryland.
Accelerating quantum computing adoption with partners: IonQ announced its support of the State of Maryland’s “Capital of Quantum” initiative and committed its intention to anchoring a state-of-the-art quantum intelligence campus based at the University of Maryland at College Park. The company also announced the successful commissioning and global availability of IonQForte Enterprise quantum computer, with #AQ36 performance, located at uptownBasel campus in Arlesheim, Switzerland.
Pioneering scalable quantum error correction: IonQ unveiled a novel, efficient approach to quantum error correction that enables fault-tolerant logical qubits using significantly fewer physical qubits—setting the stage for scalable, reliable quantum computing.
These developments reinforce IonQ's leadership in enterprise-grade quantum systems for real-world applications.

BS !!

Ahh sorry u were suckered by the lame stream media. Do your D D. Homework. ON IONQ T got this. I know it’s hard to admit u were suckered. But. Pay attention. Ionq is KAATN’s 3,000 PTS in 1 fing day !!! History son! Only T could do that wise up. And. KEEP YOUR 👁️ON IONQ lots to come from doge . Investigations of dens selling u s out through tariffs. Money under the table? Sorry. Grab your tooth brush?

these secret negotiations might not allow discussion of proceedings even in the congressional committees...the biggest leakers to be found?
their investment fund would be all over it. it's a shame usa can't trust it's own elected officials to not leak or trade on their knowledge.

the administration has a business plan. it's confidential. the recent cyber related activity isn't by accident, guesses.
state and other governmental depts had previously been hacked. there is likely increased scrutiny now with trump doing his secret mojo on each individual countries negotiation file. china and russian and noko hackers and iranian, etc hackers are likely working overtime to try to bust in.
hopefully, the conversations are well protected and being monitored.

This is not market manipulation. It is clarity as to what is happening causing confidence to return to the markets.

The new administration policies are working. It's called leadership.

The message should be...."Stop Buying Chinese!" Instead of speaking without engaging your brain.

Right back at ya ! Some freaking market manipulation at its finest !  GFYS !

Clueless

Something gone haywire?

IonQ up UP 23.40%?

Port value UP 13.20%?

Already I will be paying lotsa taxes for last year.

I don't remember this kind of rise before... V doing it?

Cheers and GLTA

trump is an asshole

Fast two-qubit gates on a trapped-ion quantum computer
Patent number: 12265884
Abstract: A method for performing an entangling operation between trapped ions in a quantum computer includes selecting an amount of infidelity that is allowed in an entangling operation between two trapped ions in a quantum computer, computing a pulse function of a pulse to be applied to each of the two trapped ions based on gate operation conditions and the selected amount of infidelity, generating the pulse based on the computed pulse function, and applying the generated pulse to each of the two trapped ions to perform the entangling operation between the two trapped ions.

so, it would seem you could use the software defined quantum computer patent, take two entangled trapped-ion s, with the selection of an mount of infidelity allowed in the entangling operation, logi gate operations, and then each of them know what the other party is up to? two way communications via teleportation?
now add the demo of the photonic communications between two such components in a regular fiberoptic channel of 30 kilometers distance. just the application in a tennis match for out of bounds of the ibm ilk would be huge. wags. want fast trading in the age of ai? this would 'trump' the ai without quantum? wags

this tariff crisis might be / is the perfect test of how quantum /supercomputing ai can be used to help a company/country save and make money in any situation in the business environment.
not the old business school application of a case study, but if you want all of business history, your own company, your adversary's history and helping you determine best course of action. given we think we know trump's history, he's not going to give up . given what we know the chinese economy and people will tolerate, you can make an educated choice. given they've got deepseek, it shouldn't take long.

on the other side trump has the full breadth of openai/nvidia cuda-q/full brute force llm and potential use of other inference tools like history of networking/dynamic routing, authentication work done by your adversary and your self to determine the most potential inference choice/answer.
trump says each negotiation is a separate item.....likely he's got each discussion both separate and part of the whole. my wags , anyway.

elon yells at trump finance guy. establishes he doesn't like tariffs. more wiggle room for the administration.

Both of these patents were filed almost 4 years ago. That’s a long time ago! Usually 2 to 2 1/2 years from filing to being granted . These 2 patents are a big deal. They further strengthen our patent moat by adding 2 more alligator’s in there now! We have over 900 patents ( alligators) now after adding Qubitekk’s and I D Quantique’s patents to ours. Ionq is k a a t n ‘s. 🐊 🐊

VIK, the cruise line is building a ship powered by hydrogen, to be introduced in 2026.

Doc. Niccolo not putting out much news especially on these patents , tells me we are in stealth mode with darpa We won’t be hearing as much as we were with Peter. IMO. But it’s a good thing. The longs in the know who have been following along and doing their homework should understand. Hang in there everyone. 😎🤙🏄🏻‍♀️🌈

I believe it started under Bush41, accelerated under Clinton with NAFTA and outsourcing. Bush 43 continued with it, and all of his "we cant do it alone" mantra. It stayed on track with Obama and accelerated under Biden.

So this is where 30+ years of bad leadership gets us.

As you pointed out, the really big deficit spending started after 2009, to save the economy. The mortgage meltdown of 2008/2009 was purposeful and predictable.

You have heard it said "build back better"?

Well in order to build back better. They first have to tear down what is in place. So these manufactured purposeful financial issues are designed to bankrupt the country, so they can throw in with the globalists and build back better.

AGREE !!!

America had the best stock market in 25 years in 2023 &24. I wonder if the old man gave his son n law with the New hedge fund that he got $2 billion from Saudi Arabia a heads up before pulling this shit.   You can fucking bet he did !!   Trump doesn't give a fuck about any one except for the elite.   That's a fact !   Market manipulation.   

So critical of the leadership, despite the fact that no other leaders in the past 50 years wanted to take on the issue of free and fair trade.

Give the policies a chance to work and let it play out. Correcting problems that have been in place for years takes time. It won't be resolved overnight. This is for long term stability and financial gain for our country. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

No doubt there is volatility, but it's not exactly a falling knife. The markets went up on Friday and Monday.

The globalist movement (America last) started under Obama/Biden and continued under Biden/Harris. Times are a changing.

trump lets them have some ionq if they do the trade barrier things necessary?

japan is building an nvidia superomputer, think they might want some quantum computer ip? likely powered by hydrogen?

I agree regarding the former leadership, so called. I think success is at hand but two plus months away. Maybe some clarity sooner will settle people down. Meanwhile, gird thy loins. People love to be scared and the media is glad to help scare them.

Cooling high motional states in ion trap quantum computers
Patent number: 12265433
Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for cooling motional states in an ion trap for quantum computers. In an aspect, a method includes performing Doppler cooling and sideband cooling to sweep motional states associated with a motional mode to a zero motional state; applying a gate interaction on a red sideband; detecting, a population of non-zero motional states of the motional mode that remains after performing the Doppler cooling and the sideband cooling; and removing at least part of the population. In another aspect, a method includes performing a Doppler cooling; applying a gate interaction on a red sideband; detecting whether a population of non-zero motional states of the motional mode remains after performing the Doppler cooling; and redistributing the population of the non-zero motional states by Doppler cooling when a population is detected. A quantum information processing (QIP) system that performs these methods is also described.

Is this “The One?” The Robert Prechter super cycle crash? Yikes. Not much room for the Fed to help out if it goes down hard and sustained. Congress has already blown through three generations of future spending so not a lot of room to move there. I think people are overreacting on the tariffs but that’s because few people really know what’s going on or understand it.

Question: the country is holding $36/$37 trillion in IOUs, but where did the money go? China, Japan, India? What did we get for it? The really huge deficit spending started in 2009 on the excuse of saving the country from bankruptcy, or something. Since then the average deficit spending has been nearly $2 trillion. The last year of the Bush presidency the budget for 2008/09 was $2.8+/- trillion, as I recall. Now we spend close to $7 trillion.

This is going to take a month or two to sort out. After that, Navarro says 50k DOW.

If thinking and hoping only made things so!

“Bad leadership”? This is the first time in 4 years that we have had leadership. While it’s certainly painful to see millions depart the portfolio, the end result should become very meaningful. If not, then bad leadership would apply.

The rust belt and MidWest have been raped by our previous leadership. The globalists have sacrificed American wealth, dignity and standard of living to get cheaper parts from foreign manufacturers. All the while these same countries have tariffs and vat taxes to deny us entering and competing in their countries.

Let’s give him a chance to see if tariffs imposed by the USA will change the current dynamic.

A "Falling Knife" market!

Buyer beware.

It is confirming what many experts have been saying... seeing the below standard leadership.

Hold off until Thursday. We still may see a dip or some volatility which may provide a better entey point for you.

I wasn’t so lucky today so far. We shall see.

Futures all up! Get in Doc! You know u need more before this flies past 54.74. No guts. No glory.

I got filled at 18.96 yesterday !! Even better than I thought!💰💵💰💵. Just pulled the trigger on 98 more filled at 23.82. 8:01 am Go Niccolo Go!
