World’s Largest Publicly Available Quantum Computer on Amazon Braket (2024)
Expands Availability to more than 100 Hours/Week, a 10x Increase in the Last 12 Months, to Meet Growing Global Demand Across a Wide Range of Use Cases
BOSTON, November 1, 2023 – QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computers, today announced the one-year anniversary of the public availability of its neutral atom quantum computer, Aquila, on Amazon Braket, a fully managed quantum computing service from Amazon Web Services (AWS). QuEra remains the first and still the only publicly accessible neutral-atom machine on the market, and, at up to 256 qubits, the largest publicly accessible quantum computer in the world. QuEra also announced today that it has significantly expanded the availability of its quantum computer on Amazon Braket to more than 100 hours/week, more than doubling its current availability and marking over a 10x increase since it first launched one year ago.
Since launching on Amazon Braket in November 2022, organizations from dozens of countries around the world have logged almost 1,000 machine hours of research and testing, arranging hundreds of millions of qubits on QuEra’s system to explore numerous applications ranging from high-energy physics to optimization to material sciences. To meet this growing demand, in August 2023, QuEra expanded availability on Amazon Braket to 48 hours per week. By now raising access to over 100 hours per week, additional customers will be able to experiment with and push the boundaries of quantum computing for problems that are challenging to simulate classically, opening up a new era of computational power and possibilities.
QuEra's technology is built on large-scale arrays of neutral atoms and currently offers users up to 256 qubits on its Aquila-class machine, and the company is actively working towards scaling up to much higher numbers. QuEra’s designs feature a unique combination of system size, coherence, and an innovative analog quantum processing mode that provides new ways to solve machine learning, optimization, and simulation problems. Furthermore, Aquila machines offer the added benefit of its FPQA™ technology, a field-programmable qubit array that provides flexible reconfiguration of its qubit positioning, comparable to designing a new chip layout for each computation. The hardware is complemented by Bloqade™, an open-source Python and Julia software package that assists with expressing and testing problems in this new way. Customers can now program analog quantum computers using Bloqade and execute their programs on Aquila via Amazon Braket.
"As we mark the one-year anniversary of our quantum computer's availability on Amazon Braket, we're thrilled to see the global impact it's already had. From high-energy physics to material sciences, our neutral-atom quantum computing technology is empowering organizations to tackle problems that were once considered unsolvable,” said Alex Keesling, QuEra CEO, “The expansion to more than 100 hours per week of availability is a significant milestone for us, but it's just the beginning. We're committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in quantum computing, and we're excited to continue our journey in democratizing access to this transformative technology."
Customers can access Aquila directly using their Amazon Braket account. For additional details on QuEra’s unique approach or to enquire about public training sessions, visit the Aquila page here.
To hear more about neutral-atom machines on Amazon Braket, register for AWS re:Invent 2023, and attend session QTC203: Searching for quantum advantage with analog neutral-atom machines, to be held November 29 from 9-10 a.m. PDT.
QuEra is the scientific and commercial leader in neutral atoms. Our publicly-accessible neutral-atom computer, on-premises machines, powerful algorithms and world-class team deliver value today. Our published roadmap of error-corrected computers chart the path to an even brighter future.

Now comes the hard part. After making the world's largest quantum chip (and cryogenic fridge), Big Blue is taking a more modular approach to build an error-corrected computer.
In collaboration with NASA and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Google demonstrated that Sycamore could compute in seconds what would take the largest and most advanced supercomputers thousands of years. This achievement is considered a breakthrough in the field of quantum computing.
Amazon Braket is a fully managed quantum computing service designed to help speed up scientific research and software development for quantum computing.
“Borealis is the first machine capable of quantum computational advantage made publicly available to anyone with an internet connection,” says Lavoie. People will probably begin by testing variations of boson sampling, says Knight, but, later on, it may be possible to apply Borealis to different problems.
One of the main capabilities offered by Amazon Braket is the ability to program quantum circuits and run them on actual quantum hardware. Braket provides multiple SDK options to design and execute quantum algorithms. For gate-model quantum systems from vendors like Rigetti and IonQ, you can use the Amazon Braket SDK.
By most estimates, a single qubit costs around $10K and needs to be supported by a host of microwave controller electronics, coaxial cabling and other materials that require large controlled rooms in order to function. In hardware alone, a useful quantum computer costs tens of billions of dollars to build.
Theorists believe your brain might contain 100 billion quantum bits, which would make your own brain more powerful than all the digital computers in the world combined.
The world's first quantum computer to exceed 1000 qubits has more than double that of the previous record holder, IBM's Osprey machine, which has 433 qubits.
In 2022, IBM set a world record with a 433-qubit quantum chip, but experts predict we'll need a lot more qubits before quantum computers can make good on their promise.
Researchers and government officials were concerned that the quantum computer might have connected with an extraterrestrial intelligence or even entered an unknown realm of computation.
America is the undisputed world leader in quantum computing even though China spends 8x more on the technology–but an own goal could soon erode U.S. dominance. China has earmarked at least $15 billion to develop its quantum computing capabilities.
The research team was able to show that since no clock has an infinite amount of energy available (or generates an infinite amount of entropy), it can never have perfect resolution and perfect precision at the same time. This sets fundamental limits to the possibilities of quantum computers.
The results are impressive. Bao and co have used their approach to factor the 48-bit number 261980999226229 using a superconducting quantum computer with just ten qubits. This is ”the largest integer factored by a general method in a real quantum device,” say Bao and co.
IonQ, Inc. is a leader in quantum computing that delivers high-performance systems capable of solving the world's largest and most complex commercial and research use cases. IonQ's current generation quantum computer, IonQ Forte, is the latest in a line of cutting-edge systems, boasting 36 algorithmic qubits.
According to the Kryptera researchers, breaking AES-128 encryption should require a quantum computer with 2,953 logical qubits, while breaking AES-256 would need 6,681 qubits. Then there is the “Shor” algorithm, which can break asymmetric encryption with twice as many qubits as the key size.
