IonQ announced that it closed the purchase of Elisity on November 4, 2026. The transaction was an all‑stock deal valued at $1.15 billion, with an additional $150 million possible if Elisity meets revenue targets through January 2028.

The combined platform will merge IonQ’s post‑quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution with Elisity’s Zero Trust security technology.
