Data Center-Ready, Built For Hybrid Computing
The first generation of IonQ’s data center deployable quantum computers, IonQ Forte is the first step to integrating quantum computing into production hybrid compute environments. Built on standard racks, IonQ Forte Enterprise’s installation specs are designed to be met by the typical, modern data center.
Our Highest Performing Quantum Computer
At #AQ 36, Forte Enterprise is IonQ’s highest performing commercially available quantum computer. Built to tackle larger problems than any other IonQ system, Forte Enterprise redefines the limits of today’s quantum computers.
36
#AQ Count
Algorithmic Qubits (#AQ) is a summary metric that counts the number of algorithmically “useful” qubits in a quantum system.
36
Qubit Count
The number of physical qubits in the system. The closer #AQ is to qubit count, the higher quality the qubits in the system.

1-Qubit Gate Error
This characterization of 1Q gate infidelity is the 1Q randomized benchmarking error rate, as measured by Clifford Randomized Benchmarking and described in this paper. Forte's 1Q gate error is about two parts in ten thousand (0.02%).
10–100s, ~1s
T1 & T2 Time
Two factors of the amount of time a qubit “stays a qubit,” T1 measures how long you can tell what’s a one vs a zero, and T2 measures phase coherence.
0.4%
2-Qubit Gate Error
This characterization of Forte 2Q gates is the randomized benchmarking error rate, as measured by Direct Randomized Benchmarking. Forte's 2Q gate error is about forty parts in ten thousand (0.4%).
0.5%
SPAM Error
The average error introduced during state preparation and measurement. Forte's SPAM error is about fifty parts in ten thousand (0.5%), and our new Barium system can do about four in ten thousand. More on SPAM and Barium

Why Trapped
Ion Technology?
By adding full software configurability, Forte represents a major advancement over previous trapped ion systems. Beyond Forte, IonQ’s technical roadmap aims to deliver the full suite of trapped ion advantages below.

Highest Gate Fidelity
Ion qubits have achieved the lowest gate error rate of any quantum technology.
Ion qubits are identical and naturally quantum. When isolated from the environment around them, ion qubits can be manipulated with a high degree of accuracy. Since qubit gate operation error compounds through the depth of a quantum algorithm, even small errors can make results unusable. We believe that trapped ions are the best way to produce the high-quality qubits needed to build fault tolerant quantum computers.
All-To-All Connectivity
Any qubit in the system can be directly entangled with any other qubit.
Thanks to all-to-all connectivity, IonQ’s trapped ion architecture offers unparalleled flexibility in algorithm design. Unlike the limited connectivity commonly found in superconducting architectures, trapped ion systems enable more accurate and more efficient circuits, improving algorithmic results.
Fully Software Configurable
IonQ’s trapped ion architecture can be configured to meet various computational demands.
Unlike other quantum technologies, trapped ion hardware is not limited by wiring or static qubit topology. Since our qubits are ions floating in space, the qubit structure, as well as the addressable control lasers, can be configured through IonQ’s proprietary control software. This control results in a system that can dynamically scale up or down based on customers needs.
Longest Coherence Times
Ion qubits have achieved the longest coherence times of any quantum technology.
Synthetic qubits, like superconducting loops, are fragile and only remain in their quantum state for a fraction of a second. Ions are naturally quantum and as a result, when left alone, remain in quantum states. This leads to longer coherence times and improved algorithm execution for longer circuits.

Clear Path to Error Correction
We believe trapped ions will require fewer total qubits for error correction compared to other quantum.
We believe qubits with higher fidelity will require fewer total qubits to create a single logical, error corrected qubit. IonQ’s approach to developing a fault tolerant quantum computer, which will require scales much larger than today’s biggest quantum computers, is to manufacture the highest quality qubits possible, thus limiting the total number of qubits needed in a system.
