IonQ Announces Continued Collaboration with Amazon Web Services To Extend …

Most advanced quantum computing platform through Amazon Braket offers access via the cloud to explore new quantum applications

We're excited about our recent news that IonQ and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are renewing our contract to offer cutting-edge quantum technologies on the cloud. Our extended collaboration aims to provide users with access to IonQ's newest systems, features, and on-demand support through Amazon Braket, AWS's quantum computing cloud service.

Our continued collaboration with AWS further paves the way for customers to explore new quantum applications at scale. By working with the most broadly adopted cloud service provider, we make it easy for users to access IonQ's leading quantum computers whenever they want. Customers across life sciences, financial services, manufacturing, and more will continue to experience the efficiency, utility, and performance of our quantum computing technologies.

A Quantum Leap for Amazon Braket Users

To overcome the computational limits of classical computers, we are building best-in-class quantum computing technologies that can perform computations to help customers solve their most complex problems. Fundamental to realizing the promise of quantum is democratizing access so that every industry can benefit from the technology. Our aim with this extension is to make quantum more accessible and pave the way for new quantum approaches and applications. IonQ systems are available on-demand as well as via dedicated reservations through Braket Direct, all with pay-as-you-go pricing and no upfront costs to lower barriers to entry for customers to explore, design, and run complex algorithms.

IonQ's Forte system is our highest-performing commercial system to date available on Amazon Braket, delivering 36 algorithmic qubits (#AQ). Additionally, IonQ Aria has been available on Amazon Braket since 2023. Dedicated access to Aria and Forte systems is also available via Amazon Braket Direct.

What's Next?

IonQ recently announced accelerated 2025 technical milestones to further cement our leadership in the quantum computing space. We are uniquely positioned as the only quantum computing provider focusing on three critical pillars: performance, scale, and enterprise-grade solutions. Whether organizations already have dedicated quantum efforts underway or are just getting started, we're working alongside customers and developers to help optimize their algorithms for our systems and expand existing applications to new problem spaces - such as computer vision and image recognition, natural language processing, pharmaceuticals, and many more.

For those eager to dive into quantum computing and explore the potential of IonQ's systems on Amazon Braket, more information is available on the AWS website here.
