IonQ to Showcase Innovations at Web Summit 2025 Portugal
IonQ will demonstrate record-fidelity and quantum applications at Web Summit 2025.
Web Summit 2025 Portugal
IonQ, the world's leading quantum business, will attend Web Summit 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal, from November 10–13. The firm will emphasise its world record quantum computing capability, which is speeding up the shift to practical quantum solutions across industries.
At the AI Summit on Thursday, Oxford Ionics co-founder and IonQ President of Quantum Computing Dr. Chris Ballance will speak. A technology journalist, Mary-Ann Russon, will host “Quantum Without Compromise: The Race to Real-world Applications.” Dr. Ballance will discuss how the company's latest engineering advances relate to quantum computing's expanding use in several industries.
Unlock Fault Tolerance with Breakthrough Fidelity
Among IonQ's highlights is its 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity. The company's move towards fault-tolerant and scalable solutions is supported by this quantum computing breakthrough.
Due to qubit fragility, quantum computing requires better fidelity. Calculation errors are reduced by this precision. According to Dr. Ballance, this achievement is “opening the door to practical quantum solutions across sectors” and advancing fault-tolerant systems. Fault-tolerant quantum systems get closer to reality when high fidelity reduces mistake rates and allows longer and more complex calculations and algorithms. This affects the range of problems solved.
A new technology called quantum computing uses quantum physics to do complex computations faster than conventional computers. IonQ helps companies and researchers realise this potential to solve unsolved problems in several industries.
Real-world use cases show 20x performance gains The company is moving from theory to practice. Customers are already witnessing performance gains from IonQ Tempo and Forte Enterprise. Reports say AstraZeneca and Amazon Web Services (AWS) clients and partners have seen 20x performance gains in key tasks. IonQ works with industry leaders like NVIDIA to study applications.
Collaborations and systems are accelerating the creation of meaningful quantum solutions in many fields. Better fidelity and performance allow applications in several essential industries, including:
Financial modelling and services
Production
Biomedical research, drug discovery
Material science
Logistics
Cybersecurity
Defensive
In addition to theoretical demonstrations, IonQ believes this breakthrough fidelity will enable practical applications across industries.
An ambitious roadmap aims for 2 million qubits and the quantum internet
IonQ reaffirmed its aggressive technical goals. To create the most potent quantum computers with two million qubits by 2030, the company plans to greatly expand its technology. This ambitious objective seeks to solve now unsolvable problems that need processing power much beyond the capabilities of traditional computers, coupling the high fidelity achievements as a fundamental concept.
IonQ is leading the way in quantum networking developments, in addition to sheer qubit count. By connecting several quantum computers, this infrastructure investment will provide a more robust and dispersed ecosystem for quantum computing. IonQ is positioned as a major contributor to the development of the future quantum internet its capacity. Secure communication and distributed quantum computing will be made possible by the combination of high-fidelity qubits and networking capabilities.
The business is enabling quantum technology to have a greater effect and be more widely available than before. All of the main cloud providers now provide IonQ’s technology, reducing entry barriers and hastening the adoption of quantum. IonQ has operations in several countries, including the UK, South Korea, and Switzerland, and its headquarters are in College Park, Maryland. The Fortune Future 50, Newsweek’s 2025 Excellence Index 1000, and Forbes’ 2025 Most Successful Mid-Cap Companies list all acknowledged the company’s cutting-edge technology and quick expansion.
