## Amazon NEWS AND UPDATES



- [Amazon hosts a first in Quantum computing: Aquila, a neutral-atom Quantum computer](/quantum-news/2022/amazon-hosts-a-first-in-quantum-computing-aquila-a-neutral-atom-quantum-computer.md)

  Amazon Web Services (AWS) is hosting Aquila by QuEra, the first publicly available neutral atom quantum computer on Amazon Braket. For Aquila’s 256-bit neutral-atom quantum processor, Qubits are laser developed in a vacuum chamber, where a cloud of rubidium atoms is trapped by magnetic fields. Laser light then is used to capture individual atoms of that cloud, holding them like tweezers, and constraining their motion so that they are effectively chilled to close to absolute zero. 


- [Amazon Introduces New Quantum Chip To Reduce Errors](/quantum-news/2023/amazon-introduces-new-quantum-chip-to-reduce-errors.md)

  Amazon Web Services has unveiled a groundbreaking quantum chip, a custom-designed device fabricated in-house by its quantum team. The chip marks a significant milestone in error-corrected quantum computing, with a passive error correction approach able to suppress errors by 100x by using a passive error correction approach. 


- [Amazon, IBM Move Swiftly on Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms Selected by NIST](/quantum-news/2022/amazon-ibm-move-swiftly-on-post-quantum-cryptographic-algorithms-selected-by-nist.md)

  A month after the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) revealed the first quantum-safe algorithms, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and IBM have swiftly moved forward. Google was also quick to outline an aggressive implementation plan for its cloud service that it started a decade ago.
