Amazon Web Services’ Amazon Braket service now provides access to Emerald, a 54-qubit quantum processing unit (QPU) developed by IQM. The superconducting transmon-based QPU, featuring a square-lattice topology, is hosted in Munich, Germany and accessible via the Europe (Stockholm) Region. Customers can utilise the Braket software development kit (SDK), or integrate established frameworks such as NVIDIA CUDA-Q, Qiskit, and Pennylane, to build, test and execute programs on Emerald, and may leverage Amazon Braket Hybrid Jobs for quantum-classical algorithms. Researchers at accredited institutions can apply for AWS Cloud Credits for Research to support experimentation.
Amazon Braket, a quantum computing service from Amazon Web Services, now offers access to Emerald, a 54-qubit quantum processing unit (QPU) developed by IQM. Emerald utilises superconducting transmon technology and features a square-lattice topology, designed to deliver high gate fidelities and support dynamic circuits for quantum algorithm research and experimentation. The service enables customers to explore and experiment with diverse quantum hardware, including superconducting, trapped-ion, and neutral atom devices, all hosted on AWS.
Programs can be constructed, tested and executed on Emerald using the Braket SDK, or integrated with existing programming frameworks such as NVIDIA CUDA-Q, Qiskit and Pennylane. To facilitate complex computations, Amazon Braket Hybrid Jobs provide a fully managed environment for quantum-classical algorithms, aiding the development of advanced quantum computing hardware solutions.
The Emerald QPU is located in Munich, Germany, and is accessible via the Europe (Stockholm) Region. Researchers at accredited institutions can apply for AWS Cloud Credits for Research to support experimentation on Amazon Braket, providing resources for further investigation into quantum computing hardware.
