IonQ just made a huge quantum computing bet
IonQ just made a huge quantum computing bet
completed its $1.8 billion acquisition of SkyWater Technology, giving the quantum computing company control of a U.S.-based semiconductor foundry.
The deal could help IonQ build and scale its own quantum chips while creating a more vertically integrated platform for quantum computing.
Do you think big bet on in-house chip manufacturing will pay off?

It’s a bold move toward vertical integration, but the payoff will depend on whether IonQ can turn that manufacturing control into faster quantum development and better economics.

having their own foundry could really speed things up for IonQ. it is a smart way to control the supply chain while everyone else is struggling with delays.
