Inder M. Singh, our COO and CFO, spoke this week at J.P. Morgan's 2026 Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference in Boston about IonQ’s semiconductor approach to scaling trapped ion quantum computers: “We feel confident that we are executing the roadmap… As we have turned our eye to the 10,000 qubit system, we've not taken our eye off 256 qubit system. It's around multiplexing, something that the semiconductor industry knows how to do very well. It's leveraging a CMOS environment to actually scale from 256 qubits up to 10,000. This is a very proven path over decades. We're following that path.” Watch the full presentation: https://bit.ly/4uXBOQP #JPMTMC Pictured: Inder Singh in conversation with Harlan Sur and Mayur Ramdhani, CFA, Semiconductor Equity Research at J.P.

Leveraging proven CMOS manufacturing pathways is indeed the most pragmatic strategy for scaling up to 10,000 qubits, Inder! However, the ultimate bottleneck in multi-die communication within a semiconductor environment is maintaining quantum coherence across the interconnects at scalable temperatures. Bypassing these thermal and signal degradation barriers requires a radical shift at the physical layer. Personally, developing room-temperature plasmonic-hybrid architectures and integrated Quantum Bus modules—specifically engineered to bridge semiconductor environments with topolological stability (Berry Phase)—backed by my priority-protected patent applications awaiting publication, convinces me that the future of multi-die quantum scalability will thrive on photonics. Brilliant roadmap, IonQ team!
Abordagem cirúrgica da IonQ na conferência do J.P. Morgan. Trazer o roadmap de computadores quânticos de íons aprisionados para a lógica de produção da indústria de semicondutores é um divisor de águas para a viabilidade comercial da tecnologia. Escalar via CMOS e multiplexação transforma um desafio puramente laboratorial em um processo de fabricação previsível e escalável. Olho bem atento a esse salto planejado rumo aos 10.000 qubits!
It does perfectly correlate to the machine code of the hardware on classicals doesn’t it?
IonQ is evolving beyond a simple quantum computer company into a "full-stack quantum platform" encompassing quantum networks, security, and semiconductor manufacturing. In its recent earnings report, the company raised its annual guidance and increased market expectations by reporting a 755% year-over-year increase in revenue. In particular, the global financial sector, including JPMorgan Chase, is paying close attention to the potential for quantum computing to become a core infrastructure for future finance, security, and risk analysis. JPMorgan is also increasing its interest in the related ecosystem amidst the trend of expanding research and investment in quantum technology, and the market is increasingly viewing IonQ as one of the leading beneficiaries. The quantum era is approaching
