Summary
IonQ rose 12% in premarket trading after saying it had tested the industry's first real-time quantum error decoder.
The company said the decoder enables quantum error correction during operations without slowing execution time, a key hurdle for practical quantum computing.
That announcement lifted other quantum names as well: Rigetti Computing and D-Wave Quantum each gained more than 5.5%, with Infleqtion up by a similar amount.
The move made IonQ one of the biggest premarket gainers Wednesday, underscoring how technical milestones are still driving sentiment across the quantum sector.
