AWS announces the Quantum Embark Program to help customers get ready for quantum computing
Quantum computing promises to revolutionize industries. Our new Quantum Embark program provides expert guidance to help you harness its potential.
Analog Hamiltonian simulation with PennyLane
In this post, we’ll describe how the PennyLane-Braket SDK plugin to study the ground state of the anti-ferromagnetic Ising spin-chain on a 1D lattice on the Aquila quantum processor, a neutral-atom quantum computer available on-demand via the AWS Cloud.
Designing hybrid algorithms for neutral-atom quantum hardware using Bayesian optimization
BMW sponsors PhD students to research novel approaches to computational challenges. Today we’ll show you how they bridge the gap between academia and industry, to solve some of the hardest problems in industry using Bayesian protocols for quantum optimization problems.
Optimization with OpenQAOA on Amazon Braket
In this blog post, we introduce OpenQAOA, Entropica Labs’ open-source SDK for the QAOA, and OpenQAOA-Braket, a plugin specifically designed to expand OpenQAOA’s capabilities by leveraging Amazon Braket.
New open source tool expands access to lab-based quantum prototypes: Cloud Queue for Quantum Devices
Experimental physicists are vital to the future of quantum computing, sensing, and networking, laying the groundwork for new types of devices and enhancing the performance of existing technology. Their work, like all open science, can be accelerated through collaboration, but providing access to prototype hardware is challenging. The Cloud Queue for Quantum Devices project provides […]
AWS releases open-source software Palace for cloud-based electromagnetics simulations of quantum computing hardware
Today, we are introducing Palace, for PArallel, LArge-scale Computational Electromagnetics, a parallel finite element code for full-wave electromagnetics simulations. Palace is used at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing to perform large-scale 3D simulations of complex electromagnetics models and enable the design of quantum computing hardware. We developed it with support for the scalability and […]
Quantum error correction in the presence of biased noise
Have you ever heard about error correction? Without it, we could not obtain awe-inspiring pictures of Jupiter and its moons, conduct intelligible mobile phone calls, or have reliable computers. In this blog post, we explain the basic ideas behind error correction and how to apply it to quantum computing. In addition, we discuss how we […]
Bernoulli line and the Bloch sphere: visualizing probability and quantum states
Introduction In recent years, quantum computers have evolved from laboratory experiments available to only a handful of scientists, to research devices that are accessible worldwide through cloud services like Amazon Braket. The impact of cloud access to quantum computers is not limited to laboratory scientists and developers as it allows educators to bring these devices […]
Sprinternships with Break Through Tech Chicago and the Amazon Braket quantum computing team
During May 2022, Amazon Web Services hosted its first cohort of students participating in Break Through Tech Chicago’s annual Sprinternship. This is a micro-internship program designed to transform the career trajectories of women (cisgender and transgender) and nonbinary individuals. The program offers these students foundational work experience that prepares them for the tech workforce. Break […]
Exploring computational chemistry using Quantinuum’s InQuanto on AWS
Introduction Quantum computers hold the promise of driving novel approaches to solving complex problems across multiple fields, including optimization, machine learning, and the simulation of physical systems. Researchers are already using quantum computers to explore computational chemistry problems, however the scale and capabilities of quantum devices available today is limited by noise and other factors.
