Proud to announce @FormationQ_'s partnership with The King’s Foundation @KingsFdn, helping establish one of the first institutional environments exploring quantum methods in urban planning.
Launched at Dumfries House, headquarters of The King’s Foundation, the initiative brings together leaders across technology, planning, and sustainability to explore how advanced computational approaches may support more holistic urban development.
Over the next three years, FormationQ will work with The King’s Foundation’s Projects Team, alongside @IonQ_Inc and @Space_Syntax, to explore new approaches to infrastructure planning, sustainability, and urban development across six Commonwealth cities.
The first pilot initiatives are planned for Belize and Zambia’s Copperbelt region.
An important step toward real-world institutional adoption of quantum technologies.

Exciting coverage in today’s @Telegraph: @KingsFdn, @IonQ & @Space_Syntax team up on the Harmonious Urban Growth initiative — one of the first real-world uses of quantum tech for sustainable urban planning! 🇬🇧🌍
Helping Commonwealth cities grow smarter, greener & more livable.

The King’s Foundation, headquartered at Dumfries House in East Ayrshire, has joined FormationQ in a three year programme exploring whether quantum optimisation can support more sustainable urban planning across fast growing Commonwealth towns and cities. For King Charles III, this is not a sudden interest. Architecture, traditional urbanism, community design and the human consequences of planning have been central to his public work for decades. The question now is whether advanced technology can strengthen that work without outrunning the evidence of public benefit. Read the Modern Scot article:

The King's Foundation has launched a three-year quantum planning pilot with FormationQ to support sustainable urban growth in six cities. #Quantum#UrbanPlanning#Sustainability#UKCities https://t.co/kimeGA2j5c
Cities are growing faster than infrastructure systems can adapt.
Once unplanned growth patterns become locked in, the long-term economic, environmental, and social costs become enormous.
As highlighted this week in the @FT, @FormationQ_, @KingsFdn , @IonQ_Inc, and @Space_Syntax are exploring how advanced computational modelling, including quantum optimisation m, may help communities test infrastructure and planning decisions before growth becomes irreversible.
The work will begin across six Commonwealth cities, including pilots in Belize and in Zambia’s Copperbelt.

FormationQ at the @NYSE closing bell for World Quantum Day with @IonQ_Inc.
Increasing focus across industry on translating quantum advances into practical applications and institutional capability.
Thrilled to see Quantum supported strongly by the UK government, as we translate research from lab to society.
It is also exciting to see our landmark partnership with @IonQ_Inc mentioned in the announcement, @Cambridge_Uni will continue to be a key contributor to this ambition!
We are honored to welcome Ambassador
@PuneetTalwarDC, former U.S. Ambassador to Morocco and senior national security leader, as a Strategic Advisor to FormationQ. We are grateful for his support for the mission and honored to have his counsel as we build.
IonQ is powering a new applied quantum program with @FormationQ_- thanks to its Founder/CEO @NadaHosking - as well as the @DeptofPhysics at @Cambridge_Uni.
Using IonQ’s high-fidelity trapped ion systems, the collaboration aims to move quantum from the lab to real-world impact across computing, networking, sensing, and security.

We're partnering with @FormationQ_ to move quantum out of the lab and into the real-world.
Our first initiative is a two-year program focused on building the systems, pathways, and partnerships that make adoption at scale possible.

After months of building quietly, @FormationQ_ is now public.
I founded FormationQ to bridge frontier #quantum research with real-world impact, building pathways, partnerships & operational systems to make it happen.
We’re kicking off at Cavendish Laboratory @DeptofPhysics, @Cambridge_Uni, working alongside @IonQ_Inc to translate breakthroughs in computing, networking, sensing, and secure systems into applied solutions.
Follow @FormationQ_ to track our journey. More announcements coming soon. 🚀
$IonQ This is great piece of news as @FormationQ_ connects Cambridge's reknown Cavendish Lab with IonQ, strengthening the IonQ - UK relationship. Congratulations @NadaHosking!
Big news: FormationQ is live 🚀
We’re taking quantum out of the lab and into the real world.
Launching at the @DeptofPhysics Cavendish Lab, our new initiative is powered by @IonQ_Inc’s full-stack quantum tech.
