en.Wedoany.com Reported - Amazon Web Services (AWS) is deepening its quantum computing collaboration with QuEra, planning to integrate the latter's first fault-tolerant quantum computer capable of handling scientific problems, Libra, into the Amazon Braket quantum cloud platform.

The two companies announced an expanded strategic partnership this week. QuEra's Libra—a "Megaquop-scale" device capable of executing one million quantum operations across hundreds of logical qubits—is expected to be available to AWS customers by 2028.

Professor Mikhail Lukin, Chief Scientific Officer of QuEra Computing, stated that this moment is extraordinary, with the dream of achieving a useful, fault-tolerant quantum computer finally within reach. These systems are designed to enable quantum computing at an unprecedented scale and should give rise to truly unique applications. Eric Kessler, General Manager of Amazon Braket at AWS, added that the company believes fault-tolerant quantum computing will become a foundational part of solving the most difficult computational problems for customers on AWS, and that QuEra's technology has demonstrated a clear path to this future.

Amazon Braket launched in the U.S. in 2020, allowing customers to reserve time on quantum computers from multiple hardware providers. These quantum systems are hosted by their respective providers and connected to the AWS cloud via APIs. In addition to offering its own quantum simulator, quantum companies available through Braket include IonQ, IQM, Rigetti, AQT, and QuEra.

QuEra Computing Inc., founded in 2019 by alumni of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is headquartered in Boston. The company's technology is based on programmable arrays of neutral rubidium atoms, which are trapped in a vacuum by tightly focused laser beams. QuEra operates a laboratory and data center near the Charles River in Boston, providing access to quantum hardware through its own cloud and AWS. The company deployed its 256-qubit Aquila system on Braket as early as 2022.

QuEra has installed on-premises quantum computers at Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and the UK's National Quantum Computing Centre. Its investors include Nvidia, Google, SoftBank, Valor Equity Partners, QVT Family Office, and Safar Partners.

Amazon is also developing its own quantum hardware but has not yet publicly offered its Ocelot chip. The company operates its own quantum computing center in California, which will host the first batch of AWS's proprietary systems, planned to go live on the Braket service.
