With 36 qubits, industry-leading gate fidelities, and reduced downtime, Forte Enterprise gives users reliable access to powerful quantum hardware for running complex quantum workloads. Available through Open Quantum’s unified interface, you can get started right away. Sign up with Open Quantum and run on IonQ Forte Enterprise for FREE — check it out, you don’t want to miss this. ⚛️ #OpenQuantum #IonQ #QuantumRings

Come see Bob Wold, CEO of Quantum Rings speak at Boulder Startup Week next Wednesday 5/6. We hope to see you there!

We were honored to join Dr. Brian Keating on Into the Impossible this week to discuss broadening access to quantum computing education and infrastructure. The pace of progress in quantum computing has been extraordinary recently. In just the past few weeks: Google Quantum AI showed that 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography could be broken with less than 1,450 logical qubits, challenging the encryption that protects #BTC. Oratomic and Caltech demonstrated that Shor's algorithm could be run with as few as 10,000 reconfigurable atomic qubits (those are physical qubits, not logical). Previous estimates had placed the threshold at millions of physical qubits. And IonQ achieved the first photonic interconnect between two independent, commercial, trapped-ion systems, representing a foundational step toward scalable quantum architectures. These rapid advancements make the workforce question even more urgent. The technology is arriving. The question is whether there will be enough people ready to use it. Quantum Rings was founded to close that gap. To date we have witnessed our users execute tens of millions of circuits, comprised of tens of billions of quantum gate operations, from hundreds of universities and research institutions worldwide. Dr. Keating's undergraduates at UC San Diego (including a first-year student) went from first exposure to qubits to implementing Shor's algorithm in six weeks.

As we celebrate World Quantum Day 2026 ⚛️, we take a moment to reflect on how far quantum computing has come and how much potential still lies ahead. At Quantum Rings, we’re grateful to be part of a growing global community working to make quantum more accessible, collaborative, and impactful. As part of that effort, we’re continuing to expand Open Quantum, offering free access to explore and learn with real quantum hardware, along with our Quantum Rings SDK, giving students, developers, and curious minds the tools to start building and experimenting with quantum systems firsthand. Progress in this space isn’t driven by a single breakthrough, but by a collective effort, and the future of quantum will be built together.

Last week, Bob Wold, CEO of Quantum Rings, was honored to attend the CQE Quantum Standards Workshop and speak at the Duality Alumni Quantum Panel in Chicago. Hosted by incredible partners including the Duality Accelerator, Chicago Quantum Exchange, ASCET Center of Excellence, Protiviti, and Cresa, these events brought together an impressive group of leaders across the quantum ecosystem, including IBM, IonQ, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), JP Morgan Chase & Co, qBraid, Nationwide, memQ, and many more. The event was centered around the future of quantum standards, commercialization, and collaboration across industry, academia, and government. It was energizing to be in a room with so many forward-thinking organizations all working toward advancing quantum technologies. A huge thank you to the organizers and everyone involved for creating such a valuable space for discussion and connection. Excited to continue building in this space and contributing to what’s ahead.
