$IONQ is no longer lab experiment. It's manufacturing.
- 256-qubit trapped-ion chip with RF traces, fabricated at SkyWater
- Cycle time: 9 months -> 2 months, 12x more wafer lots
- Electronic Qubit Control from Oxford Ionics, fits in 1 server rack
- Quantum memory from Lightsynq (acquired Jun 2025) solved photon sync problem
- 3x Superion 256 systems sold in 4 days: SDT Korea, NVIDIA research center, FIU Miami
- Deliveries 2027, foundation for fault-tolerant
This is why PQC Day is 2027/2028, not 2035.
