The company explained that reaching AQ 64 equates to a 268-million-fold leap in computational scale, and IonQ\u2019s Tempo is now 36 quadrillion times larger than that of IBM\u2019s currently available quantum systems.\n<\/p>\n

IonQ Inc. (IONQ) on Thursday announced that it reached a major quantum computing breakthrough, hitting an algorithmic qubit (#AQ) score of 64 on its Tempo (quantum computer) system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The achievement, reached three months earlier than expected, expands IonQ’s quantum computational power, positioning it ahead of competitors like IBM (IBM).<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0IonQ stock<\/a> traded over 9% lower on Thursday afternoon, and it was the second-most trending equity ticker on Stocktwits. Retail sentiment around the stock shifted to \u2018bullish\u2019 from \u2018extremely bullish\u2019 territory amid \u2018extremely high\u2019 message volume levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The stock saw a 2,644% surge in user message count over the past month. Stoctwits users said they are adding to their position due to the price drop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the company, reaching #AQ 64 means its Tempo system can now process over 18 quintillion different quantum states. That\u2019s a level of power that opens the door to real-world applications in fields like energy distribution, pharmaceutical development, logistics, and anomaly detection.<\/p>\n

The #AQ benchmark quantifies a quantum system\u2019s ability to handle increasingly complex algorithms while maintaining accuracy. Each increase in the AQ value doubles the effective computing space. Reaching AQ 64 equates to a 268-million-fold leap in computational scale compared to IonQ\u2019s AQ 36 mark from early 2024.<\/p>\n

Tempo’s computational space is now 36 quadrillion times larger than that of IBM\u2019s currently available quantum systems, said IonQ. On September 23, the company also said that\u00a0it had successfully\u00a0demonstrated\u00a0<\/a>frequency conversion of photons from visible to telecom wavelengths, in partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).<\/p>\n

IonQ stock has gained over 62% in 2025 and over 791% in the last 12 months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
