Horizon Quantum will purchase one of IonQ\u2019s first 6th-generation, chip-based 256-qubit trapped-ion systems, in furtherance of Horizon Quantum\u2019s mission to unlock the full potential of quantum computing with its software platform. The acquisition of the 256-qubit system marks a further step in Horizon Quantum\u2019s efforts to enable broad quantum advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IonQ\u2019s 256-qubit system is designed to provide researchers and developers significantly more computing capacity to explore complex problems, with its microwave gate operations and 99.99% gate fidelity, while producing more accurate and reliable solutions using Horizon Quantum\u2019s real-world software infrastructure. The forthcoming IonQ system will be designed so all of its qubits can work together efficiently from its \u201call-to-all connectivity\u201d and parallel operations enabling a broader range of calculations with greater flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mrem.bernama.com\/viewsm.php?idm=53964\">https:\/\/mrem.bernama.com\/viewsm.php?idm=53964<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE &amp; COLLEGE PARK, Md., April 10 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) &#8212;\u00a0Horizon Quantum Holdings Ltd.
