COLLEGE PARK, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)– This press release features multimedia.

Developed by an IonQ team led by UC Berkeley Physics PhD and ex-GTRI and -NIST researcher Jason Amini, the EGT platform offers an unprecedented level of performance and is a crucial part of IonQ\u2019s roadmap to rapid scalability and increased computing power.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cThe Reconfigurable Multicore Quantum Architecture marks a key milestone for IonQ and for the quantum computing industry in general,\u201d remarked IonQ President and CEO Peter Chapman. \u201cRMQA is a critical enabler of our ability to scale qubit density and deliver the computational power projected in our roadmap. We\u2019re very proud of the team at IonQ that has achieved a powerful platform for scalability and control in a single technical breakthrough.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nToday\u2019s news involves the separation and merger of a total of 64 ions to create a RMQA using 4 chains of 16 ions each. The ion chains are transported and merged into permutations of a higher-connectivity, 32-ion quantum computing core, allowing for scaling to large numbers of qubits without the fidelity loss that historically accompanies very long chains of ions. This architecture was realized on IonQ\u2019s EGT Series ion trap chip, which provides the stability necessary to operate this architecture with little to no recalibration, maximizing uptime and optimizing transport. The EGT series platforms are expected to be extended to support more chains, with each chain increasing the quantum computational power by a factor of 4000 or more.\n<\/p>\n \nThe news continues a year of considerable momentum for IonQ. Its trapped-ion quantum computers were recently added to Google Cloud Marketplace, making IonQ the only supplier whose quantum computers are available via all of the major cloud providers. In addition, IonQ\u2019s co-founders joined the White House\u2019s National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee to accelerate the development of the national strategic technological imperative. IonQ is also preparing to become the first publicly-traded, pure-play quantum computing company via a merger with dMY Technology Group, Inc. III (NYSE: DMYI) (\u201cdMY III\u201d).\n<\/p>\n About IonQ<\/b><\/p>\n \nIonQ, Inc. is the leader in quantum computing, with a proven track record of innovation and deployment. IonQ\u2019s 32-qubit quantum computer is the world\u2019s most powerful trapped-ion quantum computer, and IonQ has defined what it believes is the best path forward to scale. IonQ is the only company with its quantum systems available through the cloud on Amazon Braket, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as through direct API access. IonQ was founded in 2015 by Christopher Monroe and Jungsang Kim based on 25 years of pioneering research. To learn more, visit www.IonQ.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bAbout dMY Technology Group, Inc.
