Amazon Braket has announced the general availability of the IQM quantum computers’ Garnet processor, a 20-qubit quantum processing unit based on superconducting technology. This expansion allows customers to experiment with quantum algorithms and explore applications of quantum computing, particularly in domains like finance, energy, pharmaceuticals, and logistics. The Garnet processor has achieved high levels of fidelity, making it suitable for running complex quantum programs.
Customers around the world can now access and run experiments on the Garnet processor through Amazon Braket, providing them with on-demand access and simple pay-as-you-go pricing. Additionally, customers can reserve dedicated capacity on the Garnet QPU for their highest-latency or most time-sensitive workloads. With the availability of the Garnet processor in the Europe (Stockholm) region, European customers can now easily access this EU-based QPU to meet their data residency needs.
To run programs on the Garnet processor, customers can specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in the device definition and execute their circuits using simple code snippets. One example provided is creating a Bell State using just a few lines of code. Furthermore, customers can experiment with large-scale entanglement by preparing a 20-qubit GHZ state on the Garnet device. The fidelity of the prepared GHZ states on the Garnet processor exceeds 50%, indicating successful entanglement of multiple qubits within the quantum system.
For customers interested in running their own quantum programs on the Garnet processor, they can visit the Amazon Braket Console to view device topology and availability, access up-to-date information on gate fidelities, and explore example notebooks and tutorials on the GitHub repository. Customers can also reserve dedicated capacity on the Garnet QPU via Braket Direct for specific workloads.
In conclusion, the general availability of the Garnet processor from IQM quantum computers via Amazon Braket expands the opportunities for customers to delve into quantum computing and develop advanced quantum algorithms. The high fidelity of the Garnet processor makes it suitable for running complex quantum programs, paving the way for innovation in various industries. With easy access and convenient pricing options, customers can explore the potential of quantum computing and address challenging problems efficiently.
