Notes
Data as of August 2026


📍 Access to these backends requires installing specific provider plugins eg

pip install qiskit-ionq qiskit-braket-provider qiskit-aqt-provider


📍 SaxonQ & Quantum Brilliance represent the unique Room-Temperature Diamond modality, distinguishing them from the cryogenic superconducting and trapped-ion systems.
