Amazon Braket, the quantum computing service by AWS, now offers support for Garnet, a 20-qubit superconducting quantum processing unit (QPU) by IQM. This move extends Braket to the EU for the first time, making it accessible to researchers and developers in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Customers can experiment with various types of quantum hardware such as superconducting, trapped ion, and neutral atom devices. Garnet can be accessed on-demand for building and testing quantum programs, with pay-as-you-go pricing and the option to reserve dedicated capacity for critical workloads. Expansion to the European region in Stockholm helps EU customers with data residency needs. Researchers can apply for credits through the AWS Cloud Credits for Research Program to use Garnet QPU. This advancement provides a convenient opportunity for professionals to explore quantum computing and accelerate their research.
