IonQ agreed to acquire security specialist Elisity to integrate identity-based access controls into its quantum security platform, Yahoo Finance reported. Elisity's existing product has more than 100 enterprise deployments, giving IonQ an established channel to enterprise security buyers.

IonQ also formed a partnership with QuantumCT to broaden quantum computing access for education, research and businesses in Connecticut. How quickly the security and access partnerships will translate into reduced cash burn and profitability remains uncertain.
