Hardware Deep Dive

The AQT IBEX Q1 is a trapped-ion quantum computer built by Alpine Quantum Technologies, headquartered in Innsbruck, Austria. It encodes qubits in the electronic spin states of calcium-40 ions held in an ultra-high vacuum radio frequency trap. Entangling operations are mediated by the collective motional modes of the ion chain via the Coulomb interaction, giving the system all-to-all qubit connectivity without any routing overhead. Uniquely for a quantum computer, the entire system is rack-mounted and operates at room temperature, consuming under 2 kW of power.

Common Provider Questions

Why does IBEX Q1 go offline for calibration?

AQT states that IBEX Q1 automatically calibrates on a regular basis to maintain gate quality. Trapped-ion systems are sensitive to laser frequency drift, ambient magnetic field fluctuations, and trap heating rates, all of which can degrade gate fidelity over time without correction. Brief offline periods during or between availability windows are a normal part of keeping the 98.7% two-qubit fidelity benchmark valid.

Can I access IBEX Q1 outside of AWS?

Yes. AQT runs its own cloud portal at aqt.eu, and as of February 2026, IBEX Q1 is also accessible via Scaleway's QaaS platform (an European sovereign cloud). Additionally, qBraid Lab has integrated IBEX Q1 access. QPUStatus currently only tracks the AWS Braket route; direct and Scaleway telemetry is planned for future integration.
