Quantum Computer from AQT Added to Quantum Rings Platform
Through this collaboration, users worldwide gain direct access to AQT’s latest trapped-ion quantum technology through an easy-to-use API, significantly lowering the barrier to real-world quantum experimentation.
Quantum Rings partners with AQT
Through Open Quantum, you can access AQT’s IBEX Q1 quantum computer using the same unified API you use for other backends – with $50 in free compute credits every 90 days to start running circuits and comparing results across providers immediately. Access is available on demand, allowing users to experiment at each user’s own pace. Open Quantum is designed as a unified access layer across hardware providers, supporting early experimentation, education, and cross-sector collaboration.

“As we continue to expand the reach of AQT’s state-of-the-art technology through this partnership with Quantum Rings, we are excited to see how users will leverage our quantum systems. Our hope is that this collaboration enables users who may not have traditionally had access to our technology to experiment freely and drive a broader diversity of use cases toward real quantum value.”
Dr. Thomas Monz, CEO, AQT
