## AI overview

IonQ added calibrated hardware noise model simulations for Aria and Harmony to IonQ Quantum Cloud. The simulations approximate how quantum circuits may behave on those systems, helping developers account for noise while prototyping. IonQ says the models are simplified and should not be treated as precise predictions or substitutes for running certain algorithms on hardware.
