Thanks. You’ve aroused my interest somewhat.

I retired 30 years ago and have lived 10 years longer than I expected. I have more than enough cash to last the rest of my life even if all my stocks went to zero before end of day tomorrow.

I know next to nothing about quantum, … And have tended to regard it as a great subject matter for science fiction. I don’t know that. I have the energy to learn a whole new area of technology from scratch.

I suppose i could pick up few shares and regard it as a lottery ticket.

It won’t be long before they turn that around imo. The factory is there humming away They just need to increase their sales team to increase their sales / revs. Don’t discount it or be left out if a hostile takeover or a buyout offer happens suddenly . These guys are in the lead. Debt? Sure. What new corp doesn’t? Look at the BoD bios on LinkedIn etc. Top notch. They are well respected and highly educated. This is no scam. They are progressing at twice the rate of Msft when they started. Michael Dell Mark Benioff and Bill Gates knows all about their debts and still invested like me. You need to do more D D. Imo. Quantum is coming. Get in.

Last week, Kramer said he wouldn’t touch it until it started Reporting positive earnings.

I had a quick look and it seems that the company spends eight dollars for each dollar of revenue.

No, company will survive long with that kind of numbers.

???????

Now we need our sales team to get out and sell a lot of new computers to large corporations and Universities etc. Shareholders want to see new sales contracts with big $$$$ signs in them. Giddy up! Get the first quantum factory rolling these out 1 after the next. Until then, I don’t see us breaking 9.00.

**Blind Quantum Computing (BQC)** is a cryptographic protocol that allows a user (known as the client) with limited quantum computing resources to outsource their quantum computations to a more powerful quantum server while keeping the data and the computation itself hidden from the server. The key feature is that the server performs the computation without learning anything about the input, output, or the computation process itself, hence maintaining the "blindness."

### Key Concepts in BQC:
1. **Client and Server Model**:
- The **client** has limited quantum capabilities, usually being able to prepare simple quantum states but not perform complex computations.
- The **server** has a full-fledged quantum computer capable of performing advanced quantum computations.

2. **Quantum States**:
- The client prepares and sends quantum states (often called "trap qubits" or "entangled states") to the server.
- These states are encoded in such a way that the server cannot discern the actual data or operations being performed.

3. **Classical and Quantum Interaction**:
- The client and server exchange both classical and quantum information during the computation process.
- The client instructs the server to perform specific operations on the qubits, but the server remains oblivious to the actual operations due to the encoding.

4. **Measurement-based Quantum Computing (MBQC)**:
- Many BQC protocols rely on **MBQC**, where quantum computations are performed by preparing an entangled resource state (such as a graph state) and then performing a series of measurements on it.
- The client sends instructions to the server to carry out these measurements, but due to the randomness introduced by the client, the server cannot infer the computation’s details.

5. **Security**:
- **Blindness**: The server cannot learn anything about the client’s data, algorithm, or the result of the computation.
- **Verification**: Some BQC schemes allow the client to verify that the server performed the computation correctly without directly knowing what the server did.

### How BQC Works:
1. **Preparation**: The client prepares qubits in a state that encodes the input, such as in a superposition state, and sends them to the server.

2. **Computation**: The server, based on instructions from the client, performs quantum gates or measurements on the qubits. However, these operations are disguised in such a way that the server doesn't know the actual computation.

3. **Result**: The server sends back the processed quantum states to the client. The client can then decode and retrieve the result of the computation.

### Use Cases:
- **Cloud Quantum Computing**: As quantum computers become available via the cloud, BQC allows users to run computations securely without exposing sensitive information to the quantum service provider.
- **Cryptographic Applications**: BQC can be integrated into secure cryptographic protocols to perform private computations that leverage quantum advantages.

### Challenges:
- **Efficiency**: The client still needs to be quantum-capable, though the requirements are minimal compared to the server.
- **Quantum Noise**: Noise and errors in quantum computing could compromise the results, making error correction techniques essential for reliable BQC.

BQC is a step towards secure quantum computing, providing privacy for users even when using quantum machines they do not control directly.

This market has been up since November of last year and is getting long in the tooth. The new highs/new lows continue up.
NVDA will consolidate before moving higher. IONQ has bottomed as I pointed out earlier when OBV bottomed in mid June.
You can buy more shares in a low priced stock verses a high priced stock.....WIN, WIN.

Out of nvda. All in IONQ. Jfyi. Let’s get this party started!

Homework: I know….;($&))$. But ya gotta keep up if you want to make money. Knowledge is power.

Wow! AWS sounds like they are really getting their toes wet. Will Michael, Mark and Bill stand around and watch them take over? I seriously doubt it. And what about Elon? Is he going to be at the mercy of these guys? I doubt it. This is going to get very interesting very soon with the mag 7 and others going at it to take control. It stands to reason. There is only 1 dedicated quantum computer factory on the planet as we speak, and with a lot of the best minds on the planet behind it and moving it forward at breakneck speed. Yep. Going to get very interesting. IBM, Dell, AWS, META, MSFT, Salesforce, INTEL, AMD, Broadcom , TSMC, ORACLE, SAMSUNG, L G and others know that whoever is first to control all the data wins. Elon. Phone home. Can you hear me now?

Yeee Hawwwww we hit 8.05 !!!

Largescale changes in technology can never be prevented. At one time there were millions of people with horses and carriages that had the same naive mentality. They said to themselves and others, "Now that the automobile is here, we must never sell our horses." And when computers were invented they said, "Now that word processing is here, we must never sell our typewriters." LOL. Get with the times or be left behind. There are only two choices.

So the motto is (now that we understand the hugely negative of quantum Cloud computing) never sell your personal computer…

Maybe Ionq could team up with vcsy and SBV ? Ionq cloud needs their patents imo

Homework
In quantum mechanics, the term "quantum cloud" typically refers to the probabilistic nature of particles, especially electrons, in quantum systems. Instead of having definite locations, particles like electrons exist in regions of probability described by wave functions, often visualized as "clouds." These clouds represent the likelihood of finding a particle in a particular space at any given time.

For example, in the case of an atom, the quantum cloud refers to the area where there is a high probability of locating an electron around the nucleus. This concept replaces the classical view of electrons moving in fixed orbits.

In a broader sense, quantum clouds can also refer to computational or informational resources in quantum computing or quantum networking, where data exists in superposition across distributed quantum systems.

Is there a specific context of "quantum clouds" you're interested in exploring further, such as quantum computing or electron probability clouds?

Wow. I just realized IonQ already has a Quantum Cloud. Lol. Moving even faster now Jack. No wonder Larry is going all out. Now I believe even more that IonQ is a buyout target or a takeover target. We shall soon see.

But you’re referencing old classical development methods that drove their share price. Tec development drives share price. Every time a new p r comes out on a new development, the share price increases. New quantum developments will be happening much , much faster than old classical developments . A million times faster. Think of IONQ daisy chaining Tempos and Jensen and Larry clustering Blackwell’s ! And, in a couple of years Rubin steps in. So I respectfully disagree.

I think you misunderstood my 10 year comment. That was my timeline for this company maturing in value from a stock standpoint, not in their tech development. I agree that the tech side is going faster than anyone predicted. But all corporations take quite a long time to reach peak share price. Look at Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Nvidia, etc... Those companies all took a 10-20 year trajectory before reaching peak market capitalization.

Jack. I agree. Larry is definitely on top of it with OCI. He hasn’t even completed the first one and he’s already designing the second one that will be powered by a nuclear reactor! Quantum is the future but I disagree with your 10 year timeline. Here’s why. We all currently think of timelines predicted by today’s computer design, fabrication and construction. Now we have Quantum computer design, fabrication and construction techniques. Much much faster. And in the next 2 years it will be a thousand times faster with newer quantum computer developments . Larry’s Second OCI will be complete and everything in place to speed things up even more. I predict it will actually be a OQCI. The pace that Quantum will replace classical will be phenomenal. Much faster than most can imagine. Kinda scary really. So I’m thinking 5 years max. Newer breakthroughs in Quantum, discovered by newer much larger Qbit Quantum computers , redesigning and streamlining everything could bring it down to 4 years. Exciting times ahead for sure. We’re definitely sittin pretty.

When I first learned about quantum computers years back, I instantly saw the future of personal computing ... and it's going to be quantum computers running on a cloud. People will no longer have a computer, per se. They will have a device that is a keyboard, with either a track pad or a mouse (user's choice), and then a hard drive built into it. We folks will have to pay a subscription to whatever company has the quantum computers for use on the cloud. IonQ, Dell, Amazon, whoever... We will connect through super-fast next-gen internet and do all our computing on a remote quantum device. Then any data will be sent back to us to be stored on our device, or also saved on the cloud.

This all serves a few important purposes for corporations.

First, they want computing to be a subscription service. They don't like people buying computers and keeping them for 5-10 years. That is not as profitable for them. If everyone is paying, say, $20 a month for quantum cloud computing, that ends up bringing in WAY more revenue over the long run.

Second, when computing and most data storage is on the cloud, it makes it infinitely easier for them to 1) Spy on everyone and everything .... and 2) Police copyright infringement easier. Harder to pirate movies, music video games and any other digital media when they control all the storage and can scan it all for infractions. It will be their way to essentially reduce pirating by about 80%.

Eventually, classical computers will become so rare that they will be very expensive to own. Once that occurs, IonQ and other quantum companies can charge whatever they want for home-use quantum machines for wealthier people, when the time comes for that. I would imagine home-use quantum machines will be the one of the last stages of a company like IonQ as it matures to its full potential and share value in about 10 years. The final stage will be when those home-use machines eventually become affordable or at least somewhat affordable.

All we have to do is hold onto our shares until that maturation finally unfolds, and we are rich!!! There will be a lot of idiots who are going to sell their positions, or most of their positions, when IonQ hits about $100-$150 a share. Then when the stock is worth like $2,000 per share or more, they will be
THE most suicidal people on Earth.

The average person is freaked out by the word quantum. They think you have to be a Quantum physicist to understand how quantum computers work. We all need to educate the public more on this exciting new breakthrough technology that will change the world as we know it. Anyone interested can start by reading Michio Kaku’s. Quantum Supremacy. It’s a pretty easy read and will bring you up to speed. Knowledge is power.

Spot on Jack! Now consider Larry Ellison building a so called “ super computer “ ( I think he could already have a build deal with ionq) and a new type of cloud. I think a Quantum Cloud! Remember where u heard it first. Go to nvda board and scroll down to a post by North… from Barons then read my following posts and let me know what u think?

I don't think people are grasping how important and how big of an announcement this was. This is IonQ essentially saying that they figured out the fidelity issue, which was the main issue with new designs other than scaling up computing power, which they seem to have had no issue with. AQ64 and high fidelity model should be here by next year. I wouldn't be surprised if they already have it and are just waiting for a good time to roll it out, say early in 2025. It's crazy how far IonQ has come in just a few years. They only have to continue with incremental improvements in fidelity and power going forward, as well as working with the coding community and physical infrastructure for various sectors (transporation, financial, military, etc...). I honestly see corporations starting to use IonQ's systems at a commercial level in the next 3-4 years. And I don't mean testing them out to see how they could implement them .... but actually replacing most or all of their computing infrastructure. Redundancy is always good, so I think most large corporations will have a series of 2-3 data centers with some IonQ machines and data storage arrays. But IonQ's machines will be so powerful in the future that these massive data centers the size of hockey rinks will likely shrink in size by 80%. Just need a few of them in case one building burns down or loses electricity of something.

I haven't been investing for a super long time, but I have yet to see a young startup company kick as much ass as IonQ.

Quantum is coming ! Nvda new quantum 800

The Blackwell GB200 Superchip and NVL72 Server
The GB200 Superchip, implemented for maximum performance, includes two Blackwell GPUs and one Nvidia Grace CPU. It comes with up to 384 GB of high-bandwidth memory 3e (HBM3e) on chip with up to 16 TB/s memory bandwidth. Multiple GB200s can be linked in cluster form with Nvidia’s new Quantum-X800 and Spectrum-X800 Ethernet at speeds up to 800 GB/s.

All we need now is news of a new memristor breakthrough. Just the energy savings alone would put us over 10.00 imo. It’s coming. As quantum computers churn away on perfecting new memristors, other developments will be taking place and implemented by Ionq scientists. Ie: 4 9’s next. As the useable Qbits increase, more and more complex problems that would otherwise have taken years or even decades, will be solved in minutes or hours. A lot of new medicines will be patented. New cures will be found. I can see it all coming soon. That’s why I’m cashing in all my bottles and cans. Everyone reading this board and who are hip to Ionq and Quantum computing in general, have the rare opportunity to get in at the bottom of a huge new industry. Each month will bring new news of new developments and the price will keep rising. New developments will not stop as long as the current quantum computers are churning away on new problems and new improvements. Therefore the price will keep rising. Elon gave up on turning them off and everyone taking a breath, and then started his own AI company. Yes. Quantum is coming!

Good day at the races. I expect a few buyout offers before this time next year. All will probably be refused, then , let the bidding war begin. Whoever takes them over or even does a j v with them will be The Big Man on Campus. Come on Jensen! You need this Corp to have the whole enchilada. What’s a measly 100 billion? Elizabeth Warren be damned. Lol or would a trifecta of Gates ,Benioff and Dell be able to pony up even more than 100 billion ? I think we shall see a lot sooner than most would think. Were they sneaking in buying more cheap shares the last couple of days? Shhhhhhh

Aways good to hear your input.

Absolutely in a great future position gentlemen . I'm so relaxed with this one.

Was a good day

Good to see chart pattern still continuing in "Bearish Signal Reversed" mode since it started on 11-Sep-2024. GLTA

PS: I like to see a confirm for upturn in the chart.

I don't think they are averse to selling, but I doubt they do so for less than $100 billion. They are currently the top quantum hardware company. And quantum is the future. They are not going to sell for peanuts. Only company I see ponying up is Nvidia. But I wouldn't be shocked if IonQ has already fended off a slew of low-ball offers in the past year or so.

If the billionaire boys club start fighting over it 21.60 will be blown thru

As long as they don’t make a move until April of next year I have a CD coming do then and would like to pu another 4500 shares lol

mtsr yep. This is going to get very interesting sooner rather than later. I’m thinking a bidding war could happen. There is a lot at stake here. No one will want to be left out. Ionq BoD is sittin pretty. I say make them all bid it up. No one could catch them with a few billion thrown their way now. And they have a ton of patent protection on top of their lead. Yep Jensen better make the move. Ya think that’s why he selling billions in stock? Could be? I’m really seeing a bidding war here soon

Looks like 32% of the shares are held by institution

So what would you guess for a take over price valuation

IMO. Any of the Mag 7 could be accumulating plus others. He who controls the data and makes sense of all the structured and unstructured data , wins. The race is on. Giddy up!

Here are a few other investors …. From chat gpt

IonQ, a quantum computing company, has attracted several major investors since its founding. Some of the key investors include:

1. **Google Ventures (GV)** – The venture capital arm of Alphabet, Google’s parent company.

I’m thinking the same no way Gates misses out on this it is more likely that he takes and not NIVDA .Im going to say with in a year .

mtsr. Michael Dell Mark Benioff and Bill Gates are all investors. I believe they will all be on the BoD soon. Then they take over. They’re not missing out on the Quantum advantage. No way in hell. I m guessing they’re about ready to make their move. The amount of capital those 3 could infuse /raise is phenomenal We shall see. Quantum is coming! Saddle up.

How many think that this company could be ripe for a take over . They keep getting closer to 100% COLLEGE PARK, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing industry, recently announced that it has surpassed “three 9’s” (99.9%) two-qubit gate fidelity on one of its next-generation barium development platforms. This is a crucial step along IonQ’s technical roadmap for developing practical, commercial quantum solutions. This achievement highlights IonQ’s dedication to research and development, and underscores the company’s commitment to bringing to market the highest-performing quantum computers in the world.
The company demonstrated optimized two-qubit gates on barium with greater than 99.9% fidelity in a two-ion chain via the same mechanisms used to realize two-qubit gates in IonQ's production quantum computers. Based on technical improvements developed to achieve this milestone, the company now has a significantly deeper understanding of how to identify and remove error mechanisms in large enterprise-grade quantum systems.
IonQ’s breakthrough achievement brings the company closer to its next-generation commercial system, IonQ Tempo – a barium system designed to drive commercial advantage – and help customers tackle their most complex problems with greater accuracy and efficiency.

Will be scaling in $IONQ

Executable XML, in its purest sense, isn't directly possible. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language designed for structuring and storing data, not executing code. However, there are ways to achieve the effect of executable XML, depending on the context:

XML as configuration for an execution engine:
Many applications use XML files to store configuration data. This XML isn't directly executed but is read and interpreted by an execution engine (written in a programming language like Java, C#, or Python) that performs actions based on the XML content.
Example: Build tools like Apache Ant or Maven use XML files to define build steps, dependencies, etc. The build tool itself (the executable) parses the XML and carries out the instructions.
Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) embedded in XML:
Some systems allow creating DSLs using XML syntax. These DSLs define specific actions or workflows within the context of the system.
The system has an interpreter or compiler that understands this DSL and can execute the actions defined within the XML.
Example: Business Process Management (BPM) tools often allow defining workflows in an XML-based DSL, which the BPM engine then executes.
XSLT Transformations:
XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is a language used to transform XML documents into other formats, including HTML, PDF, or even other XML structures.
While not strictly "executable," XSLT allows for data manipulation and conditional logic based on the XML content.
In some scenarios, this can be used to achieve results similar to executing code embedded in XML.
Misconception:
Sometimes people refer to renaming an .exe file to .xml (or vice-versa) as making it "executable XML." This is simply changing the file extension and doesn't alter the underlying file type or make XML executable.
Key Point: XML itself is not a programming language, but it can be used in conjunction with other tools and technologies to achieve powerful and flexible configurations

Look up Vcsy patents. There’s a lot of answers there , but you can’t get in. Private Corp for now. Stay tuned.

Have been watching it and it kept going up... quite a bit since they have some agreements with Nvidia.

Dell is preparing to produce the new generation of Computers that will use AI .

Doing fine owning shares in 4 of the Mag 7 already.

Sure Dell is also good to own.

Thanks for the reminder.

Cheers & GLTY

Buy $DELL, thank me later

It appears among the challenges of AI happen to be that even a complete research of lots of DATA necessarily end... in giving the right answer.

All the more cost in energy used could be a waste. The human presence and involvement is a must.

Any information without consideration of the context could lead to serious mistakes using AI as its source.

One search "Do cats speak English" yielded an answer "yes" based on a information/data on record from a show/clip in which a cat talked English.

Similar and more challenging problems exist in voluminous data collected (Tesla) from driving autos records. Larger collection of data does not necessarily mean
better for Self Driving Autos, among other challenges. I think expecting perfection in this kind of automation using AI I think happens to be more wrong than it is... for human beings!

Things are looking up. Lots of progress lately and I expect even more as our quantum computers figure out complex problems faster and faster. I feel like we’ll shoot back above 20.00 with a few large institutions getting in soon. Just a hunch. Exciting times.
