Yes, IonQ has partnered with NKT Photonics to advance the development of next-generation laser systems for its quantum computing platforms. This collaboration involves NKT Photonics delivering three prototype optical subsystems to IonQ in 2025, designed to support the commercialization of IonQ’s data center-ready quantum computers, such as IonQ Tempo and future barium-based systems. ?

The partnership focuses on integrating NKT Photonics’ advanced fiber laser technology into IonQ’s systems. These laser systems are modular, rack-mountable, and optimized for performance, cost, lead time, and size, weight, and power (SWAP) requirements, making them suitable for enterprise data center environments. ?

This collaboration is part of IonQ’s broader strategy to build a robust supply chain for quantum computing, including the establishment of a U.S.-based manufacturing facility capable of producing quantum computers for customers’ data centers. ?
