Notes
Third-party coverage headlines Tempo as a '100-qubit' system (quantumcomputingreport.com, 'IonQ Reaches #AQ 64 Milestone on 100-Qubit Tempo System'). IonQ's #AQ 64 blog says the computational register progressed 'from 36 to 64 qubits' on the development system but does not state Tempo's final physical count in the fetched text.

Algorithmic qubits (#AQ) (algorithmic_qubits_AQ)64 (achieved on a Tempo development system) #AQvendor claim
Vendor claim
Method
IonQ #AQ application benchmark suite; blog states it was achieved in a single ion chain with all-to-all connectivity, using 'dramatically improved error mitigation and compiler capabilities'
Notes
Also detailed in IonQ blog dated 2025-10-13 ('highest validated algorithmic qubit score achieved on a quantum system to date', 'three months ahead of schedule'). Tempo was originally announced 2023-09-27 as 'expected to demonstrate record-breaking #AQ 64'. #AQ is distinct from physical qubit count (100).
