quantum, our allies quantum, the quantum industries, supply chain needs, doing those, fulfilling those securely and at scale.

And at the same time, in a walled off world.

manner.

INQ's own roadmap, of course, will also be accelerated and a supply chain domestically assured.

Nicola, very quickly, you said that this brings things forward by a year.

There are people that just aren't familiar with quantum computing.

How real is this going to be in the real world and when?

Well, we've been saying since we completed the acquisition of Oxford Ionics that full fault-tolerant gate model quantum computing is gonna happen by the end of this administration.

This transaction obviously accentuates that, underwrites that, and assures that.

And so I think you're gonna see in the next three years

Everything that we have promised on our roadmap come good, and hopefully then some.

The reason why this is so exciting for us is that with Skywater, we can make quantum computing a mass market reality.

And we can do that at a price point that's accessible, not just for governments, but also Fortune 500 companies.

And that's very much our goal, to build the winning quantum ecosystem across all solutions and product family offerings that INQ has, security, sensing, networking, and computing.

IonQ CEO, Nicola De Marzi, it's great to have you back on the show.

Thank you very much.

The pressure's building on Grok, ex-AI and Elon Musk's AI chatbot.

The European Union says it's probing X over concerns that it didn't prevent its chatbot from generating deepfake images that, quote, may amount to child sexual abuse material.

Bloomberg's London-based tech editor, Olivia Solon, joins us.

Olivia, what's the need to know here from the EU probe side of this?
