Overview
HI-VQE represents a significant leap in variational quantum algorithms, specifically optimized to deliver high-precision results on today's Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. The HI-VQE Unlimited Enterprise Plan is designed for organizations that require intensive computational modeling and demand both technical excellence and financial predictability. This top-tier subscription model provides a comprehensive solution for companies looking to integrate quantum computing into production-grade workflows without the constraints of traditional per-job licensing.
Under the Enterprise Plan, a fixed annual license fee of 50,000 dollars is required as an upfront payment, granting total, unrestricted access to the HI-VQE algorithm for a full 12-month period. Unlike standard tiers that may limit the number of jobs or charge for every execution, the Unlimited plan allows researchers to run as many simulations as projects require. This eliminates the cost-per-run barrier, encouraging iterative research and large-scale parameter sweeps necessary for achieving breakthroughs in chemical accuracy and molecular energy calculations.
The service operates on a hybrid billing philosophy to balance fixed and variable expenses. While the software license is paid annually at the start of the term, the infrastructure usage is settled on a monthly postpaid basis. This Resource Recovery Fee accounts for the actual variable costs of the computational power consumed during executions. Every execution consumes a specific amount of quantum processing unit time and classical computing cycles, defined as Resource Units. These are billed at a consistent, non-discounted rate of 1.05 dollars per resource unit across all service tiers. To ensure the sustainability of the managed infrastructure and to cover technical overhead within the AWS environment, a 5 percent service fee is added to these monthly resource charges. This ensures that users only pay for the hardware actually consumed in the previous month, while the algorithm itself remains accessible without limits throughout the year.
HI-VQE differs from traditional VQE by utilizing circuit structures that are inherently more compatible with the physical constraints of current quantum hardware. This results in significantly reduced circuit depth and fewer measurement requirements, which leads to faster convergence and lower error rates. For enterprise-level applications, this efficiency translates directly into cost savings on the hardware side and faster time-to-insight for critical projects. Available through the AWS Marketplace, this SaaS offering is built to meet the rigorous security and uptime requirements of global enterprises. The billing for both the upfront license and monthly usage is integrated directly into the AWS account, providing a unified view of all expenditures.
Highlights
- The Unlimited Enterprise Plan removes barriers to innovation by providing a 12-month software license with no limits on the number of algorithm executions. A fixed annual fee of 50,000 dollars is billed as an upfront payment, allowing teams to perform exhaustive simulations without the financial risk of per-job billing. This model ensures total budget predictability for the software component, enabling enterprises to focus resources on high-impact research outcomes.
- Infrastructure usage, encompassing both quantum and classical hardware, is billed monthly in arrears. Consumption is calculated at a fixed rate of 1.05 dollars per resource unit, plus a 5 percent service fee to cover AWS operational overhead. This model ensures hardware costs remain strictly proportional to actual usage with no hidden markups. The transparent and flexible structure allows enterprises to scale quantum workloads with total visibility into expenditures.
- HI-VQE is engineered to maximize the capabilities of current quantum devices through hardware-inspired circuit optimization. By reducing the measurement overhead and circuit depth required for complex calculations, the solver achieves industry-leading accuracy in ground-state energy estimations. This technical efficiency improves the quality of scientific data and minimizes the variable resource costs billed each month, accelerating the path to chemical accuracy.
