🟢 IonQ is trading 10.2% up in after-hours trading after announcing South Korea partnership with SDT

IonQ is trading 10.2% up at $44.90 after announcing a multi-year strategic partnership with South Korean quantum company SDT.

• IonQ will provide its Superion 256 quantum computer and silicon-vacancy quantum memory module; SDT will support regional manufacturing and systems integration.
• The deployment marks the first South Korean availability of both technologies and includes plans for a hybrid quantum-classical data center.
• The announcement is the clearest explanation for the after-hours surge, outweighing a mixed market backdrop.
