Amazon Braket adds new quantum processor from Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT)

Amazon Braket Launches IBEX Q1 from Alpine Quantum Technologies

Amazon Braket now offers access to IBEX Q1, a trapped-ion quantum processing unit (QPU) from Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT). IBEX Q1 is a 12-qubit system with all-to-all connectivity, enabling any qubit to directly interact with any other qubit without requiring intermediate SWAP gates.

Customers can build and test quantum programs, and run variational quantum algorithms with priority access via Hybrid Jobs. They can also reserve dedicated capacity for time-sensitive workloads via Braket Direct.

IBEX Q1 is available Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 09:00 to 16:00 UTC in the Europe (Stockholm) Region. Researchers at accredited institutions can apply for credits through the AWS Cloud Credits for Research program.

What to do

• Visit the Amazon Braket devices page to explore IBEX Q1 specifications.
• Explore example notebooks to get started.
• Read the launch blog post for more information.
