AWS

Amazon Web Services operates Amazon Braket, a managed cloud service that gives users access to quantum processors from third-party vendors including IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave, QuEra and Oxford Quantum Circuits, alongside state-vector and tensor-network simulators, hybrid classical-quantum job tooling and notebook environments. AWS's in-house research arm, the AWS Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, California, is developing superconducting cat qubits as a bosonic route to hardware-level error correction and unveiled a prototype error-corrected chip, Ocelot, in 2025; a separate AWS Center for Quantum Networking works on quantum repeaters and networking components. AWS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon.com and is not itself a listed company.

IonQ Demonstrates 1 kHz Memory-Enhanced Quantum Interconnect Connecting Trapped Ions and Diamond Color Centers

IonQ reported a memory-enhanced quantum interconnect that links a trapped ion qubit with a diamond-based quantum memory. The system operated at an entanglement rate above 1 kHz with high fidelity, which the company describes as a significant improvement over previous benchmarks. The work was carried out with Element Six and AWS.

OutlookPlausible

IonQ could use this interface within two years to connect multiple trapped-ion modules through diamond color-center memories, creating small modular processors that share entanglement across physically separated traps.
