About
Amazon Braket is AWS's managed quantum computing service, which provides access to multiple quantum hardware providers. During 2024 and 2025, Braket expanded significantly through partnerships and hardware additions. NVIDIA and AWS announced a collaboration to advance quantum computing research by integrating NVIDIA's quantum-classical computing platform, NVIDIA CUDA-Q, with Amazon Braket, allowing researchers to use hybrid quantum-classical workflows. IQM Quantum Computers made its 20-qubit quantum processing unit, IQM Garnet, available through Amazon Braket in the AWS Europe (Stockholm) Region, the first quantum processing unit available to AWS customers within the European Union in a self-service, on-demand model. IonQ continued its collaboration with AWS, making its Forte system, which delivers 36 algorithmic qubits, available on Amazon Braket. Braket also provides access to QuEra's 256-qubit Aquila neutral atom system and supported the AQC25 conference, which brought together stakeholders from MIT, Yale, USC, Google Quantum AI, and others. In February 2025, AWS unveiled Ocelot, a research prototype superconducting chip using 5 cat qubits, built from tantalum oscillators, plus error-detection circuits, with AWS claiming up to a 90% reduction in physical qubit overhead versus transmon approaches. In November 2025, the Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) 12-qubit IBEX Q1 trapped-ion computer, which uses calcium-40 ions and is built in Innsbruck, became available on Braket in the eu-north-1 region, the first quantum hardware available to EU customers. Update 2026-06-15: QuEra Computing plans to bring its Libra system, designed for fault-tolerant quantum computing, to Amazon Braket in 2028.
