The properties of silica (SiO₂) at extreme conditions have important applications for planetary processes and for high pressure research. Here, we report the results of 125 plate impact shock compression experiments on fused silica spanning 200–1100 GPa using the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories. Additionally, we present a complementary set of density functional theory based molecular dynamics calculations based on an amorphous reference state that extend the Hugoniot to 2500 GPa. We find good agreement between the Z data, extant laser driven shock compression experiment data, and computational results over most of the pressure range. With these results, fused silica can be used as a new impedance matching standard for shock compression experiments.
