Shares of IonQ (NYSE:IONQ | IONQ Price Prediction) are rallying in Wednesday morning trading on two company announcements landing back to back: an error-decoder breakthrough disclosed after Tuesday’s close, and a premarket disclosure that IonQ’s Superion 256 system will be the first on-premise quantum computing deployment at NVIDIA‘s (NASDAQ:NVDA) Accelerated Quantum Research Center.

This move looks company-specific rather than a re-rating of the whole quantum theme. The Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ:QTUM) is down 0.3% in Wednesday morning trading.
