COLLEGE PARK, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), the world's leading quantum company, today announced an investment partnership with the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM) to accelerate next-generation therapeutic development using hybrid quantum and quantum-AI technologies. The partnership includes an investment commitment into CCRM's new quantum-biotech initiatives and establishes IonQ as the core technology partner across CCRM's global network of advanced ther.

The quantum computing industry has transitioned from a realm of scientific curiosity to one of commercial utility, with real revenue now flowing to leading players. Three distinct technological approaches offer investors diversified exposure to a market valued at $45 billion to $131 billion by 2040.

IonQ stock is costly, even following its recent decline. There are open questions regarding the company's growth, competitive landscape, and even its addressable market.

Popular quantum computing stocks Rigetti, IonQ, and D-Wave delivered incredible returns in the last three years. The quantum computing market will still be 100 times smaller in 2030 than the artificial intelligence market is today.

IonQ is the most established of the pure-play quantum computing stocks. The company is generating material revenue.

Quantum computing pure-play stocks IonQ, Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, and Quantum Computing Inc. have respectively skyrocketed up to 829% over the trailing year. Although quantum computers offer exciting real-world applications, the technology still needs plenty of time to mature and evolve.

IonQ has spent $2.5 billion on acquisitions over the last year. So far, these acquisitions have contributed little in the way of additional revenue.

In a recent interview, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) CEO Sundar Pichai dropped one of the most quietly explosive comments of the year — and it wasn't about AI. Speaking on BBC Newsnight, Pichai said the company's quantum program is reaching a tipping point, remarking: "I would say quantum is there where maybe AI was 5 years ago.

RGTI's sharp stock gains and improved earnings outlook rival IONQ's stronger balance sheet and revenue surge heading into 2026.

IonQ is a leader in achieving greater accuracy in the field of quantum computing. However, a commercially viable product likely won't be available until 2030.
