A Single Metric, A Wealth Of Information

A computer's #AQ can reveal how the system will perform against the workloads that are the most valuable to you. #AQ is a summary and analysis of multiple quantum algorithms. Here is what IonQ Aria's #AQ means, from a practical lens.

  • checkmark6 instances of the most valuable quantum algorithms were run on IonQ Aria
  • checkmark#AQ Algorithms of up to ~600 entangling gates were run successfully
  • checkmark#AQ Algorithms were successfully run on up to 25 qubits
