IonQ is trading 10.84% up at $45.16 after announcing the industry’s first end-to-end real-time quantum error-correction decoder running on a single standard CPU.

  • Announced September 22, 2026, the system reportedly handled simulations of up to 408 logical qubits and more than 31.5 million quantum operations.
  • Processing delay was as little as 0.02%, addressing a major fault-tolerant-computing bottleneck.
  • Broader markets are only modestly higher, making the company-specific technology announcement the clear catalyst.
