Why Aquila Matters
Accessible Now
Available via Amazon Braket or via Premium Access: Secure, direct, supported environment with priority bookings.
Highly Flexible
Dynamic qubit layout and fine-grained analog programming enable custom-configured experiments.
Versatile Applications
With all-to-all connectivity, Aquila enables unique strategies for algorithm development. Ideal for simulation, optimization, and ML workflows.
Pioneering Applications & Foundational Exploration
From fundamental physics to drug discovery, Aquila is already producing peer-reviewed results. Researchers have used it to observe “string breaking,” a particle-physics phenomenon that is notoriously difficult to simulate on conventional computers. Others have applied it to pharmaceutical research, predicting which candidate molecules are likely to be biologically active, with results that held up better than standard methods when data was limited. The work featured here shows the range of problems a single platform can address today.
