IonQ Plans to Acquire Vector Atomic, Broadening Quantum Sensing Capabilities and Reinforcing Quantum Technology Assets

IonQ, a leading commercial quantum computing and quantum networking company, has announced a significant move in the quantum industry with the acquisition of Vector Atomic. This all-stock transaction is expected to accelerate IonQ's entry into the ionq stock market.

Founded in 2018 and based in Pleasanton, California, Vector Atomic is a pioneer in advanced quantum sensors for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) applications. With over $200M in government contracts under its belt, Vector Atomic delivers critical U.S. federal and national security applications.

All 76 of Vector Atomic's employees will join IonQ, adding to the company's world-class quantum talent pool. This acquisition aligns with IonQ's strategic focus on government, defense, and quantum networking applications.

IonQ's quantum computing offerings are available through all major cloud providers, and its innovative technology and rapid growth have been recognised by Newsweek, Forbes, and Built In. IonQ's quantum computers have helped partners such as Amazon Web Services, AstraZeneca, and NVIDIA achieve 20x performance results.

The acquisition will further establish IonQ as the only quantum company integrating advanced computing, networking, and sensing capabilities within a single platform. IonQ plans to deliver the world's most powerful ionq stock computers with 2 million qubits by 2030.

IonQ's current generation quantum computers are IonQ Forte and IonQ Forte Enterprise. The addition of Vector Atomic's 29 pending and issued patents will strengthen IonQ's patent portfolio, positioning the company as a leader in building the quantum internet.

The legal contacts for media and investors are [email protected] and [email protected], respectively. The acquisition was facilitated by IonQ's legal counsel, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP.

However, it's important to note that IonQ's forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the company's ability to implement its technical roadmap, changes in the competitive ionq stock market, and IonQ's ability to deliver value to customers.

IonQ, Inc. is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol IONQ. The acquisition of Vector Atomic marks a significant step in IonQ's journey towards quantum supremacy and the development of a quantum internet.
