IonQ builds trapped-ion quantum computers and sells them to governments, universities and companies. It also rents access to its machines through the cloud and sells quantum networking, quantum sensing and space-data products. In 2026 it bought SkyWater Technology, a U.S. chip maker, to add foundry and packaging capacity. The company is based in College Park, Maryland.

How it makes money

IonQ earns money from selling quantum computers, from multi-year cloud and service contracts, and from networking, sensing and space-data products. Commercial customers made up about 60% of FY2025 revenue and international customers more than 30%. System sales are large and lumpy, so quarterly revenue can swing sharply. FY2025 revenue was $130.0 million, up 202%. Q2 2026 revenue was $80.1 million, up 287%.
