IQM Quantum Computers, a leading global quantum computing company, announced the availability of IQM Garnet through Amazon Braket, Amazon’s quantum computing service. This collaboration allows researchers, scientists, and developers to explore quantum computing using a high-fidelity 20-qubit quantum processing unit (QPU) based on superconducting transmon qubits. This marks the first time IQM quantum computers are accessible in an on-demand, self-service model via the cloud. Customers can also reserve dedicated access to the system through Braket Direct.
IQM Garnet, hosted within the European Union, is the first QPU available to AWS customers in the AWS Europe (Stockholm) Region. Featuring a square lattice topology, IQM Garnet offers enhanced connectivity for running quantum algorithms with precision. The processor demonstrates an average two-qubit (CZ) gate fidelity of 99.51% across 30 pairs of qubits, with a maximum fidelity of 99.8% across a single pair.
Dr. Jan Goetz, co-CEO and co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers, highlighted the combination of high-performance superconducting hardware and high-fidelity tunable couplers designed to enhance algorithm performance and provide high quantum volume. Richard Molds, general manager of Amazon Braket, expressed excitement about expanding options for AWS customers experimenting with quantum computing, particularly in the European Union where data residency requirements are a priority. IQM Garnet opens up possibilities for EU customers to accelerate research in quantum optimization, simulation, and machine learning algorithms across various fields such as life sciences, chemistry, and industrial applications.
IQM Quantum Computers is a leading provider of quantum computers, offering local quantum computers for supercomputing centers, enterprises, and research laboratories. The company also provides full access to its hardware and offers a quantum computing cloud service called “IQM Resonance.” IQM is involved in various quantum computing projects globally, including a 50-qubit commercial quantum computer project in Finland, the HPC Quantum Accelerator (Q-Exa) in Germany, and the first quantum accelerator in Spain. With over 290 employees and offices in multiple locations worldwide, IQM is at the forefront of advancing quantum computing technology.
In summary, IQM Quantum Computers has partnered with Amazon Braket to make IQM Garnet, a high-fidelity quantum processing unit, available to researchers, scientists, and developers through the AWS Europe (Stockholm) Region. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in quantum computing, providing users with access to advanced quantum hardware and capabilities to accelerate research and development in various industries.
