287% growth.
That's how much $IONQ.US 's revenue increased in one quarter versus the same period last year.
On the same day it reported earnings, the company also signed a memorandum of understanding with Anduril, one of America's fastest-growing defense technology firms, to develop quantum computing solutions for defense and national security.
The partnership also targets government and commercial contracts in strategic sectors.
But that wasn't the only announcement.
During the same week, IonQ:
• Signed another MoU with Sandia National Laboratories.
• Opened a new Quantum Innovation Center in Tennessee.
• Acquired Nexus Photonics to expand photonics manufacturing.
• Completed its acquisition of SkyWater Technology, bringing semiconductor manufacturing in-house.
These moves make IonQ the first fully vertically integrated quantum computing platform, controlling everything from chip design to manufacturing.
The bigger story is that quantum computing is moving beyond research labs and into national defense budgets.
Anduril isn't a traditional defense contractor. It's one of the fastest-growing defense technology companies, building autonomous systems and military software at unprecedented speed.
A partnership between an emerging quantum leader and a company reshaping modern defense sends a clear signal:
Quantum computing is becoming a strategic military technology, not just a scientific breakthrough.
The financials support that narrative:
• $80.1M in revenue, the fifth consecutive record quarter.
• Remaining performance obligations up 297% YoY.
• Over $3B in cash, providing significant funding for long-term expansion.
While many quantum companies are still selling future potential, IonQ is building a complete ecosystem from chips to software, supported by real contracts with some of the world's biggest defense and government customers.
