IonQ (NYSE:IONQ) was in focus on Thursday as the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency picked the College Park, M.D.-based company to work on a quantum computing initiative.
Shares fell more than 8.5%, as global markets tumbled on the back of President Trump's tariffs announcement.
IonQ will work on the first stage of DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, which is designed to understand and develop when quantum computers can be used for conventional projections. "As a participant in the first stage of DARPA’s QBI, IonQ will play a critical role in defining what it means for a quantum computer to achieve utility-scale performance - which will be defined through DARPA’s review of use cases and problem sets that require large scale machines – while continuing to advance its own enterprise-grade quantum computing technologies," the company said in a statement.
“We are honored to be chosen for the first stage of this program under DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative,” said IonQ President and CEO Niccolo de Masi. “While many companies in the quantum computing industry are focused on theoretical milestones, IonQ is focused on solving customers’ real-world problems today. Our participation in QBI allows us to both define the future of quantum computing and continue delivering commercially available quantum technologies now. We look forward to working closely with DARPA to push the boundaries of what’s possible in quantum technology.”
