Doc. You’re making it sound like Intel and 8 figured it out. They didn’t. Ionq did. Whose side are you on. Did you even read this p r ? You say u read 8 hours a day but ? Looks like you need to put the comic books down and keep up with IonQ's p r’s . Read it and report on it. Nothing in it about Intel or 8.

IonQ Achieves Significant Quantum Internet Milestone, Demonstrates Quantum Frequency Conversion to Telecom Wavelengths.

Breakthrough paves the way for interconnecting quantum computers over vast distances by leveraging existing fiber optic infrastructure
COLLEGE PARK, MD – September 23, 2025 – IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), the leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, with research support from the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), today announced a significant technological advancement in its pursuit of scalable quantum networks. IonQ successfully demonstrated the frequency conversion of photons from visible wavelengths used to interface with trapped barium ions, into telecom wavelengths on a prototype system. This critical milestone paves the way for interconnecting quantum computers over vast distances using the current existing fiber optic infrastructure.

The ability to transform visible light, which is used in IonQ's trapped ion quantum systems, into telecom wavelengths is essential for transmitting quantum information efficiently over long-haul fiber optic cables. This milestone signifies a major advancement in IonQ's long-term vision for the Quantum Internet – distributed quantum computing via secure quantum networks.

“I am thrilled to announce that we have taken an important step towards enabling the Quantum Internet. Working closely with AFRL, we are the first quantum company to demonstrate the ability to convert visible signals to telecom wavelengths,” said Niccolo de Masi, Chairman and CEO of IonQ. “We will soon connect two quantum computers over standard wavelengths, opening the floodgates for broadly networked quantum devices using commercial fiber infrastructure.”

This prototype demonstration is a leading indicator of IonQ's progress towards building scalable quantum networks, paving the way for future commercial opportunities in distributed quantum computing and quantum communication. The technology is directly relevant to the future infrastructure needs of telecom companies and network providers.

“The advancement of quantum networking and the Quantum Internet reaffirms our strategic commitment to maintaining American quantum superiority through decisive investment and forward-looking policy. AFRL-Rome and IonQ are delivering breakthroughs that strengthen our regional innovation ecosystem and bolster our national defense capabilities. I remain steadfast in ensuring that Upstate New York and the North Country continue to lead in shaping the future of quantum technology,” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.

This announcement follows IonQ’s recent delivery and commissioning of the first trapped-ion quantum computer with integrated photonic interface to AFRL’s site in Rome, New York. It also expands upon IonQ’s growing global footprint, which now includes locations in Washington D.C., Seattle, Boston, Denver, San Francisco, Chattanooga, and Basel, Switzerland.

this patent could be germane to the connectors as well as transmutation of quantum signals to telecom wavelength.
the patent from justica:"Analysis of call metrics for call direction
Patent number: 12413672
Abstract: In various examples, data communications are routed as calls by a set for servers, and the calls are processed in various ways including generating a set of data metrics including communications summary metrics which may related to communications event messages. At least one processing circuit is communicatively coupled to or integrated as part of the server set which route incoming calls (e.g., for a plurality of agents in a communications/call center). The processing circuit is configured to receive communications event messages from the server set for communications routed by the server set, generate, during a communication to a first agent of the plurality of agents, a set of data metrics including communications summary metrics based on the communications event messages; and redirect, during the communication to the first agent, the communication to a second agent of the plurality of agents in response to the set of data metrics satisfying a set of criteria indicated in a policy.
