News | AWS Users Have Access to IonQ Quantum Computing … – Pipeline Magazine

IonQ, an industry leader in quantum computing, announcedthe availability of IonQ Aria on Amazon Braket, AWSs quantum computingservice. This expands upon IonQs existing presence on Amazon Braket, followingthe debut of IonQ's Harmony system on the platform in 2020. With broader accessto IonQ Aria, IonQs flagship system with 25 algorithmic qubits (#AQ)more than65,000 times more powerful than IonQ Harmonyusers can now explore, design, andrun more complex quantum algorithms to tackle some of the most challengingproblems of today.

We are excited for IonQ Aria tobecome available on Amazon Braket, as we expand the ways users can access ourleading quantum computer on the most broadly adopted cloud service provider,said Peter Chapman, CEO and President, IonQ. Amazon Braket has beeninstrumental in commercializing quantum, and we look forward to seeing what newapproaches will come from the brightest, most curious, minds in the space.

IonQ Aria joins its predecessorIonQ Harmony as the second IonQ quantum system available on Amazon Braket. Theavailability of both systems is designed to ensure audiences with differentneeds and resources can run workloads across the quantum system best suited fortheir specific use cases. Additionally, IonQs error mitigation techniques canhelp manage the impact of coherent errors at the circuit level.

The addition of IonQ Aria toAmazon Braket provides our global customers with another choice when it comesto selecting a quantum system that best fits their specific needs, saidRichard Moulds, general manager, Amazon Braket. IonQ was a launch partner forBraket and I am excited to expand our relationship, not only by providingaccess to their latest generation hardware but also launching the ability toapply error mitigation, for the first time. These new capabilities coupled withBraket features such as Hybrid Jobs pave the way for customers acrossindustries like finance, healthcare, chemistry and manufacturing to researchnew quantum algorithms and explore near-term applications.

IonQ Aria offers some of thebest algorithmic performance in the industry. We are consistently amazed bywhat we can do using this cutting-edge system, especially when paired with theClassiq Platform. This makes Aria our platform of choice for many algorithmsand applications run by our users, said Amir Naveh, co-founder and CPO atClassiq, a leading quantum software company. Bringing it to Amazon Braketbenefits the entire ecosystem by allowing more quantum pioneers to accessIonQs industry-leading hardware while also taking advantage of theflexibility, reliability, and choice that Braket already provides.

Today,Airbus,GE Research,Dow Chemistry,Hyundai Motors, and theUnited States Air Force ResearchLaboratoryrepresent a handful ofglobal companies and agencies using IonQ Aria to explore novel solutions fortheir respective industries. Earlier this year, IonQ announced its intent to invest $1billion in the Pacific Northwest over the next decade, starting with theopening of a 65,000 square foot quantum computing manufacturing facility justoutside Seattle in Bothell, Washington. Additionally, IonQ is also an earlymember of theNorthwest Quantum Nexusalongside partners including AWS, theUniversity of Oregon, University of Washington, Pacific Northwest NationalLaboratory, and Washington State University.
