IonQ Expands Commercial Availability of IonQ Forte on Amazon’s Braket Direct Program

IonQ has expanded the commercial and public availability of its IonQ Forte system via Amazon Braket’s new program, Braket Direct. This program allows customers to reserve capacity on various quantum devices at their convenience, connect with quantum computing experts, and try out next-generation quantum computers. The reservation model is expected to improve customer experience. IonQ Forte joins other IonQ systems, IonQ Harmony and IonQ Aria, which are also available via Braket Direct. Customers will receive support from the IonQ Applications Team, including circuit optimisation, application development, and problem identification.

“IonQ Forte has now expanded commercial and public availability via Amazon Braket’s new Braket Direct program. The newly launched Braket Direct program expands customer access to the most cutting-edge, innovative quantum systems available on Amazon Braket with no upfront fees or subscriptions.”

IonQ’s Participation in AWS re:Invent

IonQ, a quantum computing company, recently took part in AWS re:Invent, a learning conference hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS). During the event, AWS announced the launch of a new program called Braket Direct, part of its quantum computing service, Amazon Braket.

Expansion of IonQ Forte’s Availability

IonQ Forte, a quantum computing system, has expanded its commercial and public availability through Amazon Braket’s new program, Braket Direct. This program aims to increase customer access to advanced quantum systems available on Amazon Braket without the need for upfront fees or subscriptions.

Braket Direct’s Reservation Model

Braket Direct operates through a reservation model on IonQ hardware. This model is designed to enhance the experience of Braket customers running hybrid workloads using Braket’s hybrid jobs feature set. It allows customers to reserve dedicated capacity on different quantum devices according to their own schedule.

Customer Support and Collaboration

In addition to providing on-demand access, Braket Direct also offers customers the opportunity to connect with quantum computing experts for hands-on support. Customers can engage in deeper collaborations with IonQ application development experts and try out next-generation quantum computers, paying only for the duration of their reservation.

IonQ Forte’s Features and Support

IonQ Forte is the latest IonQ system to be included in Amazon Braket, following IonQ Harmony and IonQ Aria, which are now available via Braket Direct reservations. Access to Forte on Braket Direct comes with support from the IonQ Applications Team, ensuring that customers can successfully use this advanced system. This support includes circuit optimization for trapped ion architectures, developing baseline problem sets and proof of concepts, application development and co-development, application delivery, and new problem identification and application roadmaps.

“Forte Access on Braket Direct will be bundled with support from IonQ Applications Team , ensuring that customers are successful with their use of this cutting-edge system.”

The TL;DR: Bee is the human who translates quantum weirdness into English for the rest of us mortals. She's basically a quantum whisperer with a PhD, a coffee addiction, and zero tolerance for quantum BS. Bee started her quantum journey after watching a terrible sci-fi movie about quantum teleportation in college and being ensconced ever since in the world of physics and computation. After getting her PhD he realised se was better at explaining quantum computing to her Uber drivers than most professors were at explaining it to grad students.
