Gate duration (two_qubit_gate_duration)not publicly disclosed

Not publicly disclosed — checked 2026-08-19

Finding: No public disclosure found. This is a recorded, dated finding — we do not substitute an estimate or borrow a figure from a sibling device.
Sources queried: ionq.com/quantum-systems/forte-enterprise; learn.microsoft.com provider-ionq; docs.ionq.com; aws.amazon.com/braket
Notes: Forte-class figure of ~900 us average appears in the Forte 30-qubit paper (arXiv:2308.05071) but no Forte Enterprise-specific duration is published.

Pricing model (pricing_model_exists)Yes - available via AWS Braket (on-demand per-task + per-shot model; IonQ QPUs require minimum 2,500 shots per task with error mitigation) and Azure Quantum (Pay-As-You-Go, QGS-metered, debiasing-based pricing)verified

Independently corroborated

Source: Amazon Braket Pricing
Method: VENDOR_UNSPECIFIED
Notes: The Braket pricing page fetch surfaced explicit dollar figures only for 'Forte' ($0.30/task, $0.08/shot, $7,000/hr reservation); a Forte Enterprise-specific line item was not visible in the fetched content.

Topology

all-to-all — All-to-all connectivity: 'Any qubit in the system can be directly entangled with any other qubit' (vendor page). Azure docs state base hardware and performance are the same as Forte; difference is data-center deployment (rack-mountable, standard racks).
