IonQ (IONQ) announced momentum toward its technological roadmap with a portfolio of nearly 400 granted and pending quantum networking patents that IonQ owns or controls in the U.S. and internationally. In support of its networking roadmap, IonQ acquired the quantum networking company Qubitekk at the end of 2024 and last week announced it has secured a controlling stake of ID Quantique. The IDQ transaction expanded IonQ’s owned or controlled patent portfolio with nearly 250 networking patents from IDQ. Qubitekk’s and IonQ’s progress and achievements have resulted in two quantum networking contracts with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory for $54.5M and $21.1M. IonQ also won a $5.7M contract with the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security to build and install quantum network infrastructure.
