Untitled

A small clarification: I'm technically not employed by IonQ to contribute to Wikipedia (I design software), and wrote this article because I believe IonQ is a good candidate for Wikipedia inclusion), but I'm still employed by them AND wrote this article, which does make me a paid, connected contributor.

IonQ is notable in the field of quantum computing — in addition to the sources provided in the article, the co-founder's research (of which the company is an extension) is notable enough to have its own Wiki article and he has been invited to testify before congress about quantum information science as a representative of the company (in 2017 and [2018]); their inclusion on the List of companies involved in quantum computing or communication predates this article by almost a year.

I've have done my best to write an unbiased, verifiable article about them, but I still want to go through submission and approval as well as declare my COI as clearly as possible, to make sure other editors have the ability to review and confirm this.

Suggested acid test for true quantum computing

Since this question of whether someone has built a "true" quantum computer is going to come up a lot in future, what's needed is an acid test for the concept.

The test I would suggest is the ability to factor n random numbers, each of n decimal digits, in under a day, for some choice of n such that no classical supercomputer could do so in under a year. n = 300 seems a reasonable value for now. Vaughan Pratt (talk) 19:23, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
