Today we advance to the final stage of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (@​DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative. Coming generations of our IonQ Superion quantum systems will undergo DARPA’s rigorous testing process. Under the Stage C agreement, which has a potential value of up to $300 million, we will continue validating our approach to delivering large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers.
