AQT has unveiled the LYNX series, a new generation of quantum computers achieving a record-breaking Quantum Volume, marking a significant advancement for European-built quantum technology. Unlike many conceptual designs, the LYNX series arrives as a practical 19-inch rack-mounted unit, engineered for seamless integration into existing computing infrastructure. This achievement isn’t simply about increasing qubit counts, according to Dr. Thomas Monz, CEO of AQT, who states, “With the LYNX Series, we aren’t just increasing qubit counts; we are perfecting control and reducing sensitivity.” AQT is further accelerating access to its technology through collaborations with Horizon Quantum to build applications and by making the LYNX series available via the Quantum Rings platform API, lowering the barrier to real-world quantum experimentation.
AQT’s LYNX Series Achieves Record-Breaking Quantum Volume
AQT’s recently released LYNX series has established a new Quantum Volume (QV) record for a quantum computer originating from Europe, signaling advancements in the field beyond simple qubit accumulation. Thomas Monz, CEO of AQT, highlighted a focus on stability and precision. Monz explained that the new QV benchmark validates the viability of AQT’s trapped-ion architecture for industrial applications ranging from chemistry to logistics. AQT is simultaneously broadening access to its technology through a collaboration with Horizon Quantum, aiming to accelerate the development of practical quantum applications; the company has integrated its hardware with the Quantum Rings platform, providing users worldwide with API access for experimentation and lowering the barrier to entry. This combination of hardware innovation and strategic partnerships demonstrates AQT’s commitment to translating quantum computing potential into tangible, real-world solutions and positions the LYNX series as a significant step toward practical quantum computation.
Horizon Quantum & AQT Collaboration Accelerates Application Development
Beyond hardware advancements, AQT is actively cultivating a software ecosystem to broaden the reach of its LYNX series quantum computers. Thomas Monz, CEO of AQT, emphasized the focus on usability alongside performance. This dual approach, collaboration with Horizon Quantum and the Quantum Rings platform integration, signals a strategic effort to lower the barriers to quantum experimentation and accelerate the transition from research to real-world deployment. AQT’s commitment extends to cloud readiness, promising future accessibility for a wider range of users and developers.
Achieving this new Quantum Volume benchmark proves that our trapped-ion architecture is the most viable path for real-world industrial applications, from chemistry to complex logistics.
