$IONQ 450+ customers in 12 months. Six record quarters in a row.
Plenty of noise around the story.
Some investors got less comfortable.
The company kept building.
Q3:
→ $173.8M revenue, +336% YoY
→ FY2026 guidance raised to $505 to $515M, +292% at the midpoint
→ quantum computing revenue on track for +110% in FY2026
→ RPO at $1.2B
→ $3.7B pro forma cash and investments
The platform:
→ 40%+ of IonQ Platform revenue from customers who have bought more than one product
→ ~$180M of new quantum computing contracts, about two thirds of new platform contracts
→ only trapped-ion company promoted to the final stage of DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative
→ Superion 256 will be the first on-premise quantum computer at NVIDIA's quantum research center, installation in 2027
→ 125+ quantum security customers signed
→ 9 new sensing contracts from July through October
→ 84 optical terminals on orbit, double a year ago
→ 256-qubit chip cycle cut from 9 months to 2 with SkyWater
The market moves as a whole and does not always reflect a single company.
Q3 shows this one on its own numbers.
Trust the process.
Trust the team.
We follow what they build.

“We’re building the quantum ecosystem for the Western world—for our nation, for the Five Eyes, for NATO.”
That’s the mission our CEO, @NiccoloDeMasi, shared with @barronsonline, and it’s how we're driving to be the NVIDIA of quantum.
Today, we supply roughly a dozen other quantum companies with systems, chips, and atomic clocks. We’ve also advanced to the final stage of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, an independent audit of progress toward industrially useful, error-corrected quantum computing.
We’re delivering on what we set out to do, and momentum is building. Quantum is now.

Write quantum algorithms. Automatically encode them for error correction. Run supported programs on Helios.
Following yesterday’s Nexus roadmap announcement, our new technical blog goes deeper into Guppy FT and Guppy Algorithms, introduced in September’s release.
Built on our world-leading quantum hardware, these tools help developers turn advances in fault tolerance into programs they can write, test, and run.
Guppy FT: write quantum programs and automatically encode them for supported error-correction architectures.
Guppy Algorithms: build with reusable, optimized algorithmic components.
See the tools in action with an encoded quantum algorithm running on Helios—and learn how error-correction cycles and parallelized state preparation improve performance.
These are foundations developers can use today as we build toward Apollo, our universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer planned for 2029.

Have you noticed that, today, quantum is never purely quantum?
We did, which is why we teamed up with @AMD to create Backline, an open platform for compilation and low-latency execution that you can use now in @PennyLaneAI.
Get to know Backline and run it yourself: pennylane.ai/demos/backline?…

I’ll say it again. Annealing and gate-model quantum computing address different computational problems. D-Wave is investing to lead in both. Our roadmaps target 100,000 annealing qubits by 2031 and 100 logical gate-model qubits capable of more than one million operations by 2032. We’re building on years of commercial quantum computing experience to solve larger optimization problems and deliver reliable, fault-tolerant gate-model applications. Customers will need both to address the full range of computational problems, and we’re uniquely positioned to deliver. $QBTS #quantumcomputing

$IonQ Not only is today's earning report outstanding and better than expected, but what's more important is that it has become clear that the decision-making that the @IonQ_Inc team has made across the board was not just the right choices, but are choices that will propel growth in an compounding manner. What we are seeing is not just something extraordinary for it is the full-stack that is pushing the maturity of the market, but what we're also witnessing is that the decision-making under @NiccoloDeMasi from day one has been nothing short of brilliant . . . even when, at times, the market did not fully understand all the connects and rationale. I'll leave this message with one very important thought: trust has to be earned. IonQ has sure earned my trust as a long-term investor. Today's news is the new baseline for which everything builds in an integrated manner.

Quantum computing leadership must be earned through results. Peer-reviewed research, demonstrated technical advances and measurable customer value should set the standard for this industry. I recently joined @LeeJane71 to discuss how to separate signal from noise and how D-Wave is executing on our dual-platform strategy: delivering commercial value with annealing today while advancing a differentiated gate-model architecture. It was a fantastic conversation, and I look forward to the next one, @LeeJane71. #QuantumComputing $QBTS
