The newly-launched Amazon Braket Direct program
expands access to the most innovative quantum systems available on
Amazon Braket with no upfront fees or subscriptions
Customers can connect with IonQ application
development experts directly via Amazon Braket Direct, receiving
tailored support to leverage the full capabilities of IonQ quantum
systems
IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing industry,
today announced the first public availability of IonQ Forte on
Amazon Braket, through the Braket Direct Program. Amazon Braket is
a fully managed quantum computing service from Amazon Web Services
(AWS). Complementing existing on-demand access, customers can now
use Braket Direct to reserve dedicated capacity on different
quantum devices of their choice at the convenience of their own
schedule. Customers can connect with quantum computing experts from
AWS for hands-on support and try out next-gen quantum computers
while only paying for the duration of their reservation, all from a
single place. Customers can also engage in deep collaborations with
IonQ’s application development teams, and connect with them
directly from Amazon Braket. IonQ Forte is the latest IonQ system
to join Amazon Braket, following IonQ Harmony and IonQ Aria, which
are now also available via Braket Direct reservations.
“Braket Direct provides all customers reaching the computational
limits of classical computers with access to quantum technologies
needed to build expertise, and expand their research and
development horizon,” said Richard Moulds, General Manager, Amazon
Braket. “IonQ Forte’s addition to Braket Direct furthers the
collaboration between our two companies, and paves the way for
exploring potential new quantum applications in areas like
materials research, computer vision, machine learning,
pharmaceuticals, and more.”
First unveiled in 2022, IonQ Forte delivers 29 algorithmic
qubits (#AQ) and represents IonQ’s highest-performing commercial
system to date. The system’s unique and innovative optical system
and the resulting higher gate fidelities enable users to run deeper
and wider quantum circuits with higher accuracy to push the
boundaries of quantum algorithm research. IonQ Forte also supports
error-mitigation techniques that will allow the system to achieve
higher #AQ and algorithm accuracy. Customers already using the
system include Airbus, Hyundai Motor Company, and the Los Alamos
National Laboratory.
“IonQ Forte’s inclusion on Braket Direct ensures more customers
can take advantage of the most powerful commercially available
quantum hardware available,” said Peter Chapman, President &
CEO, IonQ. “Forte’s availability is imperative for users looking to
optimize algorithms for trapped ions and help expand existing
applications to new problem spaces. We’re pleased to continue our
work with AWS as we collectively work towards making quantum
accessible to all.”
"We are excited that IonQ Forte, IonQ’s newest available quantum
computer, will now be offered to all Amazon Braket users,” said Dr.
Asif Sinay, the CEO of QEDMA, a quantum computing software company.
“QEDMA has been using Forte to run cutting-edge error mitigation
software that could soon give users access to unparalleled
execution of quantum circuits over Braket."

Today’s announcement follows a year of commercial and technical
success for IonQ, including the achievement of #AQ 29 on a
barium-based trapped ion quantum computing system, and the
announced rollout of two future quantum systems – IonQ Forte
Enterprise with an expected #AQ 35 and IonQ Tempo with an expected
#AQ 64 – in the coming years.
IonQ’s quantum systems are available through the cloud on Amazon
Braket, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as through
direct API access. For more details about IonQ Forte’s performance,
