Amazon Braket launches trapped-ion quantum computer from Alpine Quantum Technologies

This article announces the availability of Alpine Quantum Technologies' IBEX Q1 trapped-ion quantum computer on Amazon Braket.

• 12-qubit fully connected trapped-ion system now available through AWS eu-north-1 region
• Located in Innsbruck, Austria; addresses EU data residency requirements for European customers
• Achieves 97.7% average two-qubit gate fidelity across all qubit pairs
• All-to-all connectivity enables direct qubit interactions without intermediate SWAP gates
• Operates at room temperature, consumes less than 2 kilowatts of power
• Available Tuesdays and Wednesdays 09:00-16:00 UTC for convenient European access
• Supports on-demand access, Hybrid Jobs for variational algorithms, and dedicated hourly reservations
• Compatible with Braket SDK, CUDA-Q, PennyLane, and Qiskit frameworks

IBEX Q1 expands Braket's quantum hardware portfolio, enabling European researchers and enterprises to experiment with trapped-ion quantum computing through cloud access.
