Quantum computing company IonQ plans to acquire Vector Atomic, broadening its reach into quantum sensing and beefing up its quantum technology assets.
IonQ, a leading provider of quantum computing solutions, has announced its acquisition of Vector Atomic, a pioneer in advanced quantum sensors. This all-stock transaction is anticipated to accelerate IonQ's entry into the quantum sensing market.
Vector Atomic, based in Pleasanton, California, was founded in 2018. The company delivers critical U.S. federal and national security applications, and its employees will add to IonQ's world-class quantum talent pool.
Vector Atomic is a pioneer in advanced quantum sensors for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) applications. This acquisition will further establish IonQ as the only quantum company integrating advanced computing, networking, and sensing capabilities within a single platform.
IonQ's quantum computers have already helped customers and partners such as Amazon Web Services, AstraZeneca, and NVIDIA achieve 20x performance results. Vector Atomic's acquisition will extend IonQ's offerings to include advanced quantum sensing technology.
Vector Atomic has secured over $200M in government contracts, demonstrating its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions for critical applications. IonQ's technology and growth have been recognised in various lists, including Newsweek's 2025 Excellence Index 1000, Forbes' 2025 Most Successful Mid-Cap Companies list, and Built In's 2025 100 Best Midsize Places to Work in Washington DC and Seattle.
IonQ's advancements in quantum computing are aimed at solving complex problems in areas like drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, logistics, cybersecurity, and defense. The addition of Vector Atomic's quantum sensing technology will expand IonQ's capabilities and potential applications.
IonQ's current generation quantum computers are IonQ Forte and IonQ Forte Enterprise. The company plans to deliver the world's most powerful quantum computers with 2 million qubits by 2030. IonQ's innovations in quantum networking position the company as a leader in building the quantum internet.
The acquisition aligns with IonQ's strategic focus on government, defense, and quantum networking applications. IonQ is the leading commercial quantum computing and quantum networking company, and this acquisition will further solidify its position in the industry.
