The facility will be IonQ’s second quantum data center providing
cloud access to IonQ customers, and the primary production
engineering location in the U.S. It will also house the company’s
expanding R&D and manufacturing teams, including the teams
focused on the upcoming rollout of the next-generation IonQ Forte
Enterprise and IonQ Tempo systems.
This is the first factory in the U.S. that will manufacture
quantum computers that are replicable and deployable in customers’
data centers. The new quantum factory solidifies the Pacific
Northwest as a hub for technology innovation and manufacturing and
plans to create thousands of new jobs and opportunities over the
coming years, leveraging the skilled workforce already present in
the region.
“The Seattle facility represents a tangible realization of
IonQ’s commitment to commercializing quantum and getting quantum
computers into the hands of customers,” said IonQ CEO Peter
Chapman. “IonQ is not just building a manufacturing facility; we’re
also investing in the surrounding community drawing talent and
thought leaders to Seattle and empowering organizations within the
community with innovative quantum capabilities.”
During IonQ’s ribbon-cutting ceremony today, Washington State
U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell – a staunch advocate for science and
technology research and the lead Senate negotiator of the CHIPS and
Science Act in 2022 – praised the company for its commitment to
quantum innovation.
“Quantum computing has the potential to be a game changer -- it
can help us create new drugs and fight disease, turbocharge clean
energy alternatives, and improve food production,” Sen. Cantwell
said. “Quantum computing is blossoming in our region thanks to an
ideal ecosystem of world-class universities, businesses,
laboratories, and talented workers.”
Today’s announcement is the latest in a series of business and
technical achievements for IonQ, including achieving #AQ35 one year
ahead of schedule and securing a partnership expansion with Amazon
Braket to bring IonQ Forte to the Amazon Braket Direct Program.
The company currently works with global corporations such as
Hyundai Motor Company, Airbus, and GE Research to apply quantum
computing to complex challenges within their businesses.
Furthermore, the company has entered into a partnership agreement
with QuantumBasel to install two quantum systems in Basel,
Switzerland. IonQ has also secured a $25.5 million project with the
United States Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) to implement two
next-generation quantum computing systems at their facilities in
Rome, New York.
In addition to on premises solutions, IonQ’s quantum systems are
available on all three major cloud providers: Amazon Braket,
Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as through direct API
access. To learn more about how you can get started on an IonQ
