IONQ · CIK 0001824920
What IonQ, Inc. told the SEC could break it.
IonQ's risks cluster on a concentrated, supply-fragile manufacturing base. Its principal manufacturing facility and much of its R&D and other essential operations sit in the seismically active Seattle, Washington area, so a catastrophic event there could disrupt the business. It also depends on third-party suppliers — including sole-source suppliers — for components needed to build its quantum systems, leaving production exposed if any of them falters. And as a quantum-computing developer, it faces export-control and technology-export restrictions that could constrain its business and operations.
3 self-disclosed vulnerabilities, pulled from its own filings — each in the company’s words, with the source. This is the risk register almost nobody reads.
In its own words
