Microsoft is launching Azure Quantum in the coming months, to let select Azure cloud customers use three prototype quantum computers from Honeywell, IonQ, QCI
“Coders can run quantum code on simulated quantum hardware, or real quantum hardware from Honeywell, IonQ, or QCI.” Interesting approach to break down the eventual barrier to entry. Refreshing to see the giants trying to lead instead of playing catchup. https://www.wired.com/...
“Microsoft's program differs in that it offers access to several different quantum computing technologies, in what could be a preview of the future of the quantum computing market.” https://www.wired.com/... via @wired
Microsoft will offer cloud access to ion-trap quantum computers @IonQ_Inc and @honeywell, superconducting quantum computer at Quantum Circuits, Inc. @MSFTQuantum https://www.wired.com/...
