IonQ, a quantum platform company, announced a collaboration with Canadian Microelectronics Corporation, operating as CMC Microsystems, to integrate IonQ’s commercial trapped-ion quantum computing systems into Canada’s **FABrIC Quantum Computing Sandbox (QCS).

The initiative is covered under a newly signed memorandum of understanding (MOU), which designates IonQ as a listed cloud quantum computing access provider for the QCS.

The QCS is operated through FABrIC, an initiative backed by funding from the Government of Canada’s Strategic Response Fund (SRF) and managed by CMC Microsystems.
