IonQ Inc., a leading company in quantum computing and networking, has announced its plans to acquire Capella Space Corporation, a signals platform leader for government and commercial applications. This acquisition aims to bolster IonQ's leadership in quantum networking and enhance its partnerships with U.S. top-secret agencies, thanks to Capella's Facility Security Clearance. IonQ plans to leverage Capella's capabilities to develop the world's first space-based quantum key distribution (QKD) network, a significant step towards establishing a global quantum-secure communications network. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025, pending customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
