Business Wire
● IonQ Aria marks the second quantum system
from IonQ to join Azure Quantum platform, following the 2019
rollout of IonQ Harmony
● At launch, cloud access to IonQ Aria
available exclusively via the Azure Quantum platform
IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), an industry leader in quantum computing,
today announced the availability of IonQ Aria exclusively on the
Azure Quantum platform, at launch. Through Azure Quantum, users
from around the world can access one of the industry’s most
powerful quantum systems with a few simple keystrokes, paving the
way for new quantum applications in areas like machine learning and
logistics. IonQ Aria is the second IonQ system to join the Azure
Quantum platform, following the rollout of IonQ Harmony in late
2019.
“Having IonQ Aria be available to Azure Quantum customers is
exciting, as it aligns with our original goal of making quantum
accessible and affordable at scale,” said Peter Chapman, CEO and
President, IonQ. “IonQ Aria joining IonQ Harmony on the Azure
Quantum platform ensures that enterprise customers and research
institutions have a choice when it comes to selecting which quantum
system is best suited for their specific needs.”
Made available to public beta customers earlier this year, IonQ
Aria currently stands as the best, publicly disclosed quantum
computer in the world, with an algorithmic qubit (#AQ) count of
23.
The higher #AQ count can potentially allow the quicker
development of quantum simulations and algorithms than any previous
generation of quantum computers. Select early customers have
already begun using the system to develop algorithms that mitigate
risk in finance, model chemical reactions within EV batteries, and
improve image classification for future autonomous vehicles.
Customers who purchase monthly subscription access to IonQ Aria
through Azure Quantum will receive premium onboarding, consultation
services and technical support as part of the plan.
“The desire to learn and innovate on the Azure Quantum platform
is incredible, and partnering with system providers like IonQ makes
it possible for us to provide our global customers with the tools
they need to answer the questions of tomorrow,” said Dr. Krysta
Svore, Distinguished Engineer for Azure Quantum at Microsoft. “The
availability of IonQ Aria and IonQ Harmony offers customers even
more choice when it comes to selecting the right quantum hardware
for their specific needs.”
Demand for quantum computing systems has soared in recent years,
as both enterprise and research institutions look to leverage the
power of quantum when tackling previously unsolvable problems. In
the first half of this year, IonQ reported commercial partnerships
with Hyundai Motors to develop better performing batteries for
electric vehicles, in addition to using quantum machine learning
for object detection in future vehicles. IonQ also announced
results from its project with GE Research which demonstrated
quantum’s effectiveness for mitigating risk in scenarios where
multiple factors influenced each other.

applications, please refer to the blog here. For other information
about the company’s commercial or research partnerships, please
