IonQ Aria's 25-qubit trapped ion architecture, native gate set (GPi, GPi2, MS), access via Amazon Braket, circuit construction with native gates and transpilation, Aria vs Harmony error rates, and when trapped ion platforms beat superconducting alternatives.
Install Superstaq, set up an API key, and submit a Bell state circuit to IonQ and Quantinuum simulators to see how cross-platform compilation works in practice.
Connect PennyLane to Amazon Braket backends to run hybrid quantum-classical workflows, from local simulation to IonQ trapped-ion hardware.
Run circuits on Amazon Braket without compiler modifications using verbatim compilation. Understand native gate sets and topology requirements.
Install the IonQ Python SDK, build a circuit using native GPi and MS gates, run it on the IonQ simulator, and understand when to use the native SDK versus cirq-ionq or Qiskit on Azure.
