Deployed on AWS
The HI-VQE Enterprise Plan from Qunova Computing offers a high-performance hybrid quantum-classical solver for large-scale industrial research and development. This plan includes an unrestricted 12-month software license, allowing teams to execute unlimited quantum algorithm jobs without per-run software fees. The annual license fee is an upfront payment, ensuring continuous access. Conversely, infrastructure usage, spanning quantum processing units and classical hardware, is billed monthly in arrears based on actual consumption. Costs are calculated at a fixed rate of 1.05 dollars per resource unit plus a 5 percent service fee for AWS operational overhead. By decoupling upfront licensing from monthly hardware costs, this plan offers the budget predictability required for corporate planning while maintaining the flexibility to scale complex molecular simulations and materials science research on NISQ-era hardware.
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 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 Enterprise 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 fully accessible 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 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.

Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Dimension | Description | Cost/unit |
|---|---|---|

Dimensions summary
This listing combines a fixed license with two usage-based fees. The Annual Unlimited Software License is an upfront 12-month payment that lets you run algorithm executions without a cap on how many you perform. On top of that, you pay two monthly postpaid charges based on what you consume. The Quantum Task Usage Fee covers quantum tasks, billed at AWS rates plus a 5 percent service fee. The Computing Usage Fee covers compute resources, billed the same way. So the license sets a flat annual cost, while your monthly bill scales with actual quantum and compute usage.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
This fee covers the quantum tasks you submit to run the HI-VQE algorithm on quantum hardware. Each task is metered at the underlying AWS rate, then a 5 percent service fee is added on top. You pay monthly for the tasks you actually ran that month.
The Annual Unlimited Software License is one upfront 12-month payment. The Quantum Task Usage Fee and Computing Usage Fee then bill separately each month based on actual use. All three add together. Your monthly amount rises or falls with quantum task and compute consumption.
The two usage fees are postpaid and consumption-based, so months with no quantum tasks or compute use generate no usage charges. The Annual Unlimited Software License, however, is a fixed upfront cost for the 12-month term and does not change with monthly activity.
