Amazon Web Services Unveils Ocelot Quantum Computing Chip
AWS News, Thursday, February 27th, 2025
Amazon Web Services has unveiled its Ocelot chip based on a hardware-efficient quantum computing architecture.
Fernando Brandao and Oskar Painter of AWS said in a blog post that the pair of silicon microchips that compose the Ocelot logical-qubit memory chip represent the company's first-generation quantum chip, and it could reduce the costs of implementing quantum error correction by up to 90%.
Ocelot represents Amazon Web Services' pioneering effort to develop, from the ground up, a hardware implementation of quantum error correction that is both resource efficient and scalable. Based on superconducting quantum circuits, Ocelot achieves the following major technical advances.
