Qunova’s HI-VQE Algorithm Now Available on AWS Marketplace

Business / Press Release January 28, 2026

January 26, 2026 -- Qunova COmputing, a developer of software applications designed with the goal of bringing quantum advantage to the chemical, pharmaceutical and industrial engineering sectors, today announces its HI-VQE algorithm is now available on AWS Marketplace. This distribution channel expands HI-VQE's reach to thousands of potential users, and provides convenient access to Amazon Braket, AWS's fully managed quantum computing service that supports multiple quantum processors, inclkuding IonQ, IQM, QuEra, AQT, and Rigetti.

HI-VQE is designed to solve complex chemistry problems used in pharma, materials science, petrochemicals and related industries. This includes molecular modeling and materials reaction simulation, among many others. This is done using a hybrid approach which combines classical and quantum computing, leveraging the strengths of each while circumventing the limitations of both. In turn, this allows users to tackle highly complex computations, many of which remain beyond the reach of classical computing alone. By making such computations possible, Qunova is offering a tangible quantum advantage for industrial users.

“We have consistently shown that HI-VQE delivers value for users in the fields of chemistry, materials science and related sectors. AWS has recognized this and elected to make our product available to its large user base, as it continues to enhance its offering in the quantum space,” said Kevin Rhee, the company’s CEO and Founder. “I can speak for our entire team when I say that this is another proud moment for our company. This vote of confidence from AWS represents further evidence that HI-VQE delivers. We thank the team at AWS for their confidence as we continue our quest to deliver a real quantum advantage to our users.”

Qunova's HI-VQE algorithm is hardware agnostic, having demonstrated consistent results across multiple quantum computing modalities. Its availability through AWS’s quantum service allows Qunova to significantly expand both the pool of users which have access to its product, as well as the range of quantum computers users may select to run the algorithm. AWS customers can now discover, purchase, and deploy HI-VQE directly within their AWS account, streamlining integration with existing workflows. Furthermore, the algorithm can be integrated into broader professional service offerings available through this ecosystem. Industrial users, researchers or other stakeholders can also access the Marketplace platform autonomously, making HI-VQE one of the most accessible quantum computing algorithms. It also provides an added degree of functionality and capability for those working on advanced chemistry computations.

For additional convenience, Qunova is offering a range of pricing plans to make it easy for new users to adopt this technology. This includes annual subscriptions and pay as you go plans. Custom subscription plans are also available for short-term projects. Over the past year, the company has validated its capabilities across multiple quantum modalities on systems with up to 56 qubits. The company is also introducing a new algorithm designed to solve optimization problems with up to 100,000 combinatorial variables on today's NISQ computers. Both algorithms offer significant value for industries requiring highly complex computational solutions.

Qunova expects to demonstrate quantum advantage for advanced chemistry computations using HI-VQE within the coming weeks. Its effectiveness stems from a Hybrid Quantum-Classical computing design that leverages the strengths of both approaches to reduce resource demands while substantially improving processing speed and delivering “chemical accuracy”.
