IonQ is moving to acquire Skyloom Global, a U.S.-based leader in high-performance optical communications infrastructure. The integration of Skyloom's optical networking systems is expected to boost IonQ's data throughput by up to 500% and reduce latency for critical applications from several hours to under one hour. The deal will also strengthen IonQ's ability to offer fully integrated quantum networking and distributed quantum entanglement capabilities across both space and ground infrastructure. According to the company, Skyloom's CEO, Marc Eisenberg, will report to Frank Backes, President of Quantum Infrastructure at IonQ, after the transaction closes.
