IonQ, the leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, today announced it has achieved a record algorithmic qubit score of #AQ 64. This milestone was achieved on an IonQ Tempo system, three months ahead of schedule, establishing IonQ as the only company to reach #AQ 64 setting a new standard for quantum systems.

#AQ benchmarks measure a quantum system's ability to run quantum algorithms of increasing complexity and size while maintaining high fidelity. Achieving #AQ 64 indicates that IonQ's quantum systems can address a set of increasingly complex real-world applications such as energy grid distribution improvements, computational drug discovery, engineering simulation modeling, supply chain optimization, and enhanced fraud and anomaly detection.
