Quantum Progress, Realized
The IonQ application team works with customer teams at all stages of the quantum journey. Our bespoke approach means we can build an engagement that supports your quantum goals, whatever they are.
Many organizations start with a rough outline of the problems they would like to explore with quantum solutions.
If needed, IonQ can help identify this baseline problem set.
IonQ’s application team can either work hand in hand with your experts to build quantum algorithms or build and deliver turnkey solutions to explore how quantum might be able to offer advantage over existing, classical approaches.
If your organization has already experimented with quantum and are looking for a partner to help optimize your algorithms for trapped ions or expand the use of your existing applications to new problem spaces, the IonQ application team can help.

Example Application Development Process
Every engagement is customized based on organizational needs, but in general, our co-development process is anchored in several development milestones.
Discovery
Phase 1
Our researchers and quantum developers start every engagement immersing themselves in your business and computational challenges.
Review existing classical libraries and data sets
Align on target outcomes and project goals
Develop project plan
Algorithm Development
Phase 2
The applications team can work hand in hand with your developers or can run experimentation for you to develop novel quantum algorithms to experiment with on IonQ hardware.
Workshops and collaborative working sessions
Algorithm development and refinement
Analysis
Phase 3
With access to the most powerful quantum systems in the world, the applications team can deploy the applications on QPUs to analyze the performance and project forward looking opportunities.
Execute algorithms on IonQ quantum hardware
Performance report and summary
