IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), the world’s leading full-stack quantum platform and foundry, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Elisity, Inc., a Zero Trust security company, in an all-stock transaction valued at up to $1.3 billion. The acquisition brings together IonQ's post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum key distribution (QKD) capabilities with Elisity's enterprise Zero Trust technology platform. On a combined basis, IonQ will benefit from an expanded cybersecurity platform that both uncovers and protects against present LLM and emerging quantum threats.
One is building diversified quantum computing traction with a strong cash position. The other has cutting-edge chip technology but a falling stock and mounting competitive concerns.
IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), the world’s leading full-stack quantum platform and foundry, today announced the achievement of entanglement rates above 1,000 per second (1 kHz) between a trapped ion qubit and a solid-state memory, through a photonic interconnect. Entanglement is the quantum connection that lets separate systems work together, and it is the essential ingredient for networking quantum computers. While the trapped ion qubit sets the standard for qubit coherence, the solid-state quantum memory has unmatched efficiency coupling to light. Their juxtaposition is the best of both worlds, demonstrating the fastest quantum interconnect rate between qubits of any platform.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equity Insider News Commentary - General Fusion, the first publicly listed fusion energy company, has announced a world-first result on its path to commercial fusion power. Its large-scale demonstration machine, Lawson Machine 26 (“LM26”), heated plasma to more than 12 million degrees Celsius, or more than 1 keV in the units the fusion industry uses, with the Company’s practical low-speed compression approach. The temperature was measured together with the UK Atomic Energy Authority (“UKAEA”), written up in technical papers that are posted publicly and submitted for peer review, and it checks off the first of three milestones General Fusion set for LM26 when the program launched. Across deep technology, from fusion to quantum computing, space launch and advanced chipmaking, results that are measured, published and delivered against a stated plan are what build lasting credibility with investors. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: General Fusion Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: GFUZ), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ), Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ: RKLB), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE: TSM).
IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), the world’s leading full-stack quantum platform and foundry, has advanced to Stage C of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). IonQ and DARPA have signed a Stage C agreement with a potential value of up to $300 million to continue validating IonQ’s approach to delivering large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers. Funding beyond the initial obligation remains subject to future appropriations and DARPA funding actions.
IonQ is growing quickly across multiple sectors but burning through cash. BigBear.ai is turning its revenue around with new contract wins, but one customer still drives most of the business.
