IonQ’s systems will be the first third-party
quantum computers purchasable via the Google Cloud Marketplace;
will support Google’s Cirq and other quantum development kits
IonQ, Inc. (“IonQ”), the leader in trapped-ion quantum
computing, today announced that Google Cloud customers can purchase
access to its quantum computers via the Google Cloud Marketplace,
making IonQ the first third-party quantum computer on the Google
Cloud Marketplace. Support for IonQ’s systems is now also enabled
in Cirq, Google’s open-source quantum computing framework. The
integration makes IonQ’s high-fidelity 11 qubit systems available
to all Google Cloud customers today, with the expectation of
incorporating IonQ’s next-generation 32 qubit system later this
year.
Users will immediately be able to start experimenting with
IonQ’s industry-leading trapped-ion quantum systems. Developers,
researchers, and enterprises alike will be able to access IonQ’s
platform with just a few clicks; billing and provisioning will be
handled via their existing Google Cloud accounts. Users will be
able to program IonQ’s systems with the software development kit of
their choice, including Cirq, Qiskit, Penny Lane, and tket, or via
a custom integration with IonQ’s APIs.
IonQ’s recently unveiled 32 qubit system is among the world’s
most powerful quantum computers, featuring an average two-qubit
gate fidelity of 99.9%, random access, all-to-all gate operations
and an expected quantum volume greater than 4,000,000. This
accomplishment builds on the success of IonQ’s 11 qubit hardware,
with among the largest quantum volume of any available quantum
hardware. Integrating IonQ’s technology with Google Cloud and
Google’s Cirq enables users to build applications with the
potential to transform business, society, and the world we live
in.
“We’re thrilled to make our hardware available for purchase on
the Google Cloud Marketplace, and we can’t wait to see the
different workloads that developers start running,” said Peter
Chapman, CEO & President of IonQ. “This partnership expands the
availability and use of quantum computing ten-fold and brings us
that much closer to the first killer quantum application.”
“With availability on the Google Cloud Marketplace, IonQ is
making its solution accessible to more customers and developers,”
said Amy Bray, Global Head, Google Cloud Marketplace. “We’re
committed to making it easy for customers to access, subscribe to,
and benefit from partner solutions via our Marketplace, and look
forward to working with IonQ.”
“We have been incredibly impressed with IonQ’s technology and
are excited that their systems will now be available to customers
via Google Cloud,” said Nicholas Therkelsen-Terry, CEO of Max
Kelsen, an AI & ML consultancy. “Quantum computing is showing
that it can be used to improve artificial intelligence and machine
learning, and with greater accessibility to IonQ’s hardware through
the cloud, we believe we will see a profound acceleration in these
technologies.”
This integration with Google Cloud builds on IonQ’s ongoing
success. IonQ recently entered into a merger agreement with dMY
Technology Group, Inc. III (NYSE: DMYI) to go public at an expected
valuation of $2 billion. IonQ’s 11 qubit system is the first and
only quantum computer available via the cloud on both Amazon Braket
and Microsoft Azure. IonQ also recently released a product roadmap
setting out its plans to develop modular quantum computers small
enough to be networked together in 2023, which could pave the way
for broad quantum advantage by 2025. The company’s two co-founders,
Jungsang Kim and Chris Monroe, were also recently named to the
White House’s National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee
(NQIAC).
