AQT quantum computer leverages Cirq for algorithm development
September 2019: Quantum computers promise to solve problems that are out of reach for today’s supercomputers. Programming quantum computers differs radically from what programmers are used to today and thus new programming languages are required. A collaborative effort by Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) and the University of Innsbruck allows direct access to the ion-trap quantum computer in Innsbruck via Cirq, a framework developed by Google focused on developing and implementing quantum algorithms. Cirq can be used to explore quantum algorithms on the different hardware architectures, superconducting electronics and trapped ions.
For more details, please check out this press release of the University of Innsbruck.

Intuitive benchmarks as the key to technology decisions
September 25th, 2024
AQT’s ion-trap quantum computer, procured by the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre and Munich Quantum Valley, is now operational at LRZ's Quantum Integration Centre, making it the first of its kind in a computing center.
August 30th, 2024
The total value of the delivery, including services, amounts to 12.28 million euros. AQT is delivering a quantum computer to the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) in Poland.
