Quantum technology to modernize the U.S. power grid!

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing industry, announced last week a collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to explore how quantum technology can be used to modernize the power grid. Growing demand for electricity and a proliferation of energy resources has increased the need for innovative solutions that can address both optimization and security challenges. IonQ’s work is supported by the GRID-Q project, part of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Grid Modernization Initiative, as well as ORNL’s Quantum Computing User Program, which provides access to state-of-the-art quantum computers for testing real-world applications.
