Summary
Nvidia will install IonQ's Superion 256 system at its Accelerated Quantum Research Center, giving the quantum specialist a place inside Nvidia's research ecosystem.
IonQ is pitching its trapped-ion approach on accuracy: the company said it achieved 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelities last year, a key metric for reducing quantum-computing errors.
That partnership lands as IonQ's business expands rapidly but remains deeply unprofitable, with first-half 2026 revenue rising to $145 million from $28 million a year earlier while operating loss widened to $1.06 billion.
IonQ shares are down more than one-third over the past year, yet the stock still trades at about 65 times sales, underscoring how heavily investors are still betting on quantum computing's long-term promise.
