Constructing an “end-to-end” quantum algorithm: a comprehensive technical resource for algorithms designers

Constructing an “end-to-end” quantum algorithm: a comprehensive technical resource for algorithms designers

Today we’re introducing Quantum algorithms: A survey of applications and end-to-end complexities. This is a comprehensive resource, designed for quantum computing researchers and customers who are looking to explore how quantum algorithms will apply to their use cases.

Improving analysis of the computational cost of quantum simulations for chemistry and material science

This post summarizes a recent research paper from the AWS Center for Quantum Computing. The paper provides an improved analysis of quantum simulation of chemical and material systems. This research shows that such simulations can be implemented using fewer elementary quantum operations than previously thought. Computer simulations enable scientists to test their intuition about the […]
