Ionq Careers

IonQ, Inc. was established in 2015 in College Park, Maryland, by quantum computing pioneers and university researchers, Christopher Monroe and Jungsang Kim. The company aims to develop quantum computers using “trapped-ion” technology, a renowned method in quantum computing where quantum bits (qubits) are manipulated by individual charged atoms (ions). In 2021, IonQ became the first company in the world to go public and trade quantum computers on the New York Stock Exchange.

IonQ wants to change quantum computers from research tools into practical devices. They aim to solve important real-world problems, such as creating new medicines, developing better materials, improving supply chains and logistics, and ensuring secure communication. IonQ's quantum devices and specific functionalities, such as advanced computing, are integrated and accessible via leading cloud computing services. Based on market research, IonQ believes their trapped-ion technology provides durable qubits and a quantum computer interconnection potential.
