$3 billion IonQ Quantum Computers Making Barium Ion Qubits | NextBigFuture.com

IonQ went public and is currently valued at $3.4 billion and was briefly over $6 billion in market value. IonQ plans to use barium ions as qubits in its systems, bringing about a wave of advantages it believes will enable advanced quantum computing architectures. IonQ has built its systems to date with ytterbium ions. Now, IonQ plans to use barium ions to build systems that are designed to be faster, more powerful, more easily interconnected, and that feature more uptime for customers.
