IonQ (IONQ) is a full-stack quantum technology company specializing in ion trap quantum computing, with strategic initiatives spanning quantum computing, quantum networks, quantum security, and quantum sensing. Founded in 2015 by Christopher Monroe and Jungsang Kim, the company's core technology is rooted in ongoing ion trap quantum computing research at the University of Maryland and Duke University.

IonQ's ion trap quantum computing utilizes ions confined by electromagnetic fields as qubits, enabling precise control of their quantum states through lasers, microwaves, and similar techniques. While classical computers employ transistors to represent binary values—0 and 1—quantum computing leverages the superposition and entanglement properties of qubits to process information. IonQ's adoption of the ion trap strategy is driven by the objective of preserving high-quality qubits, enhancing quantum gate fidelity, and strengthening connectivity between qubits.

Blockchain securities recordkeeping is the use of blockchain or distributed ledger technology to record who owns a security, when ownership changes and, in some structures, which record legally controls the shareholder register. It can make securities records more synchronized, programmable and auditable. But putting a stock-related token on a blockchain does not necessarily mean that the token itself is an official share or that its holder appears on the issuer's shareholder register.
