IonQ has an unbeatable physical qubit and highest fidelity algorithmic qubit. It has Evaporated Glass Trapped Ion chips that allow it to scale and it’s ability to deliver real business applications may be industry leading due to the technical advantage these capabilities have over any other tech.
Chris Monroe and Jungsang Kim have been working on the trapped ion physics and system integration for a couple decades and Chris built the world’s first physical qubit as a trapped ion.
The game changed right then. It will continue to lead the Quantum industry is my hope, in making US unbeatable in this industry.
