IonQ, Inc. (IONQ) - Trapped in the Hype
IONQ short: Trapped-ion quantum computing co. facing major scaling challenges. Photonic interconnects crucial for growth beyond 100-200 qubits, but tech far from ready. Overhyped claims, misleading benchmarks, pivot to quantum networking. $5B valuation unjustified given technical hurdles and competition. Cash burn continues, profitability delayed.
