AQT announces its trapped-ion quantum computer now available on Amazon Braket

AQT (Innsbruck, Austria), a leading provider of quantum computers from Europe, is announcing the availability of its trapped-ion quantum computer on Amazon Web Services (Seattle, Washington). With the integration of AQT’s IBEX Q1, industrial companies, research institutions, public authorities, educational institutions and developers worldwide gain direct cloud access to European quantum technology – now fully integrated into Amazon Braket.

“With the integration of IBEX Q1 into Amazon Braket we continue to expand the choices for AWS customers experimenting with quantum computing. We’re excited to deepen our dedication to EU customers and the European quantum computing community by providing access to locally hosted infrastructure, meeting critical sovereignty needs. AQT on Braket opens new opportunities for EU-based customers, providing access to trapped-ion technology to advance their research in quantum computing.”
Eric Kessler, General Manager, Amazon Braket

“With the IBEX Q1 system on Amazon Braket, AQT is happy to provide European and international customers convenient and reliable access to our high-performance trapped-ion quantum computers. Our fully connected quantum processor and low error rates facilitate the realisation of quantum-enhanced markets. The shared commitment of Braket and AQT brings this technology to a global audience and enable novel use-cases and value-generation.”
Thomas Monz, CEO of AQT
