Explore applications areas

Some of the most profitable product development applications of classical computation are reaching their limits. Quantum approaches can expand the research and development horizon. Areas of interest for our application team include, but are not limited to:

  • Computer vision and image recognition
  • Materials research
  • Natural language processing
  • High tech electronics
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Human and computer interfaces
  • Geo exploration

Quantum modeling approaches have shown promise in both their ability to scale to complex problems and in their prediction accuracy. A variety of application areas have been explored by our applications team, with more in consideration:

  • Portfolio balancing and optimization
  • Credit and lending models
  • Procurement risk and analysis
  • Project sequencing

The most complex logistical and sequencing challenges have long represented optimization value opportunities. Quantum solutions are refocusing on capturing this value across the following areas, and more:

  • Supply chain management
  • Package loading optimization
  • Predictive maintenance
  • Shipping and logistics
  • Fleet management

Example application development process

Every engagement is customized based on organizational needs, but in general, our co-development process is anchored in several development milestones.

[ Phase 1 ]

Discovery

Our researchers and quantum developers start every engagement immersing themselves in your business and computational challenges.

  • Review existing classical libraries and data sets
  • Align on target outcomes and project goals
  • Develop project plan
[ Phase 2 ]

Algorithm Development

The applications team can work hand in hand with your developers or can run experimentation for you to develop novel quantum algorithms to experiment with on IonQ hardware.

  • Workshops and collaborative working sessions
  • Algorithm development and refinement
[ Phase 3 ]

Analysis

With access to the most powerful quantum systems in the world, the applications team can deploy the applications on QPUs to analyze the performance and project forward looking opportunities.

  • Execute algorithms on IonQ quantum hardware
  • Performance report and summary
  • Delivery of software libraries
[ Phase 4 ]

Application Delivery

Conscious to not end engagements with a software handoff only, the Applications Team remains engaged after application delivery to ensure the successful deployment and use of new quantum algorithms.

  • Educational support
  • Expansion opportunities
  • Target outcome and project goal review
