Do not know what you want to say but stock is 11% down

[Jack Torrance]

Water is wet.

[Amatuer17]

Company issued statement which is not very strong and stock is dropping like stone

Short attack achieved its target - will take some time to recover - until they have quarterly results and company shows concrete progress with milestones

[Jack Torrance]

There is nothing valid about it. Period.

[Amatuer17]

Even Twitter posts says some points are valid - the shot attacks do it very well - use some valid points to raise somewhat legitimate questions and mix with unrelated good looking questions

The damage is done as investors are not as educated and do not have time to deep dive

If you believe in technology, this could be a good opportunity to buy

[Jack Torrance]

There is almost nothing accurate about it. Sensationalized to tank the stock on purpose because the average investor is an idiot.

Also, IonQ says they are aware of the bogus report and working on responding to it.

This is the report that is tanking the stock - it is a short attack but some things may be correct

Nice to be able to get back in @ $7

IonQ Inc - Class A (IONQ) CEO Peter Chapman on Q4 2021 Earnings Call Transcript

Very good call - shows how confident they are and how ahead they are - but this area moves very slowly - so SP down big time

[Jack Torrance]

IonQ continues to extend its lead over its competition. They might as well pack up and go home. IonQ cannot be defeated.

[JohnCM]

I agree. Picked up more near end of day.

[tmonkey]

traded this near open for qubt------think there is more bang for the buck there----tmonkey

[Jack Torrance]

$18 monday!!!

[tmonkey]

my 10s and 11s were pretty close to botom here-a few more ticks and i will start rolling it all into my other one-qubt-which is lagging a bit-----tmonkey

Duke University and IonQ Develop New Quantum Computing Gate, Only Possible on IonQ and Duke Systems

February 10 2022 - 08:00AM
Business Wire

Researchers discover a new method to perform the N-qubit Toffoli gate, a more efficient quantum operation helpful in scaling quantum algorithms

New family of N-qubit gates can only be run on IonQ quantum computer architecture

Once implemented, gate is expected to speed up several fundamental algorithms for quantum computing

Today, the Duke Quantum Center (DQC) at Duke University and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) announced the invention of a new quantum computing operation with the potential to accelerate several key quantum computing techniques and contribute to scaling quantum algorithms. The new quantum gate is a novel way to operate on many connected qubits at once and leverages the multi-qubit communication bus available only on IonQ and DQC quantum computers. Full details of the gate technique can be found on the preprint archive arXiv at arXiv:2202.04230.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220210005400/en/

The new gate family includes the N-qubit Toffoli gate, which flips a select qubit if and only if all the other qubits are in a particular state. Unlike standard two-qubit quantum computing gates, the N-qubit Toffoli gate acts on many qubits at once, leading to more efficient operations. The gate appears naturally in many common quantum algorithms.

IonQ and Duke’s discovery may lead to significant efficiency gains in solving fundamental quantum algorithms, such as Grover’s search algorithm, variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs), and arithmetic operations like addition and multiplication. These use cases are ubiquitous across quantum computing applications, and are core to IonQ’s work in quantum chemistry, quantum finance, and quantum machine learning. They are also key components of commonly accepted industry benchmarks for quantum computers, which have already shown IonQ’s computers to be clear industry leaders.

“This discovery is an example of us continuing to build on the leading technical architecture we've established. It adds to the unique and powerful capabilities we are developing for quantum computing applications," said Peter Chapman, CEO at IonQ.

This research, conducted at Duke by Dr. Or Katz, Prof. Marko Cetina, and IonQ co-Founder and Chief Scientist Prof. Christopher Monroe, will be integrated into IonQ’s quantum computing operating system for the general public to use. Monroe notes that, “no other available quantum computing architectures—not even other ion-based quantum computers—are able to utilize this new family of N-qubit gates. This is because IonQ’s quantum computers uniquely feature full connectivity and a wide communication bus that allows all qubits to talk to each other simultaneously.”

This discovery follows a series of announcements around IonQ’s research efforts and preparations for scale. In December, IonQ announced that it plans to use barium ions as qubits in its systems, bringing about a wave of advantages it believes will enable advanced quantum computing architectures. Last year, the team also debuted the industry’s first Reconfigurable Multicore Quantum Architecture and Evaporated Glass Trap technology, both of which are expected to contribute to scaling the number of qubits in IonQ’s quantum computers.

IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tmonkey]

hope you are right!!!-im still addin!-------tmonkey

[Jack Torrance]

IONQ will be a $300 stock in 5 years. Screenshot this post.

[tmonkey]

qubt has held better in pps- but i have been getting some real cheap shares here the last few days!!!-started at 14 so it seems like a deal here!!-tmonkey

[Jack Torrance]

QUBT sucks compared to IONQ.

[tmonkey]

nibbled too high last time-ill take a bigger bite today here and on the other one----tmonkey

[tmonkey]

just started nibbling at this one but like qubt much more-having both wont hurt-tmonkey

[tw0122]

Those $15 shares bought finally making sense.

[KILLAZILLA]

Please explain, link. Thanks
Over 10% down? Thought it was higher???

[IonStock]

Tomorrow the SEC's short-selling restrictions go into effect, so today is their last gasp short-selling spree on IONQ.

[wiredawg]

Anything under $20 is a buy for me, when funds are available...no rush, I like it to stay under $20 for the next few months...so I have more time to accumulate more at these levels.

GLTA

[ANTADOG]

Xcellent move, prime timin', i collected cheaper calls, ANT

[tw0122]

Did buy the $17 dip along with $19s. Santas rally is here until end of year

[ANTADOG]

Well i'm enjoyin' this one today, ANT

[tw0122]

Going long finally cleared short. Bought some $19s for starters.

[KILLAZILLA]

Buying this dip. I grabbed some AI @ 34 yesterday ahead of ER. Figure that should be bottomed out. Gonna be a real strong 22'

[oregon 1]

Very nice turn at 20. Now up we go.

[oregon 1]

The whole market is not looking very good at the moment.

[oregon 1]

Now can we hold 20?

[oregon 1]

Can we hold 21 ?

[ANTADOG]

21,70~~ they are takin' this one down but on light volume, gonna wait it out now, this market is crazy, ANT

[crudeoil24]

Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari initiated coverage of IonQ Inc (NYSE: IONQ) with a Neutral rating and a $28 price, implying priced at the current level.
While the company is one of the front-runners in the quantum computing space, there is a high level of uncertainty around the widespread adoption and commercialization of quantum computing and which forms of quantum computing ultimately capture market share.
IonQ is a quantum computing hardware and software company based in College Park, Maryland.

[ANTADOG]

and green, 24,45~~ ANT

[ANTADOG]

added a nice amount of calls, still hungry though, ANT

[ANTADOG]

Looks like it's gettin' locked for the nxt 30 break, let's see, imosho ANT

[ANTADOG]

more green on less daily volume compared to yesterday = people are holdin' for the 30 break, loadin' continues imho ANT

[oregon 1]

This is really showing some strength to the upside.

[ANTADOG]

Almost 5 million shares traded with still 3 hours to go, the daily vol is really improvin' again, bodes well and confirms your uptrend theory, imho ANT

[Jack Torrance]

You'll be glad you did when this is $500 in 2026/27.

[ANTADOG]

not often happen that i'm loadin' both shares and options, but ionq just has that certain je ne sais quoi, it's instinct i guess, just fyi, luv it or leave it, ANT

[Jack Torrance]

Still in an upward trend. First wave we went from $8 to $24, then retraced to $17. Second wave we went from $17 to $34, then retraced to about $22. I think this third wave takes us to about $40-$42, then a retracement to about $36.

[ANTADOG]

Yup and volume pickin' up as well, could be turn point, imosho ANT

[oregon 1]

Looking strong going into the close
