Simulating quantum systems using classical computers remains a computational challenge. In fact, the resources required for these simulations scale exponentially with the size of the system being simulated. This fact is at the core of the motivation to build a quantum computer. Quantum computers have the potential to surpass even the most powerful supercomputers when […]

Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of local device emulator on Amazon Braket. This feature enables developers to emulate their verbatim circuits based on device calibration data. Local device emulation helps accelerate the development cycle by providing early feedback on circuit compatibility and expected behavior in the presence of noise. In this post, we […]

When running quantum computing workloads with multiple circuits, such as simulating molecular systems, building classical shadows, and training quantum machine learning models, submitting each circuit individually creates substantial delays between executions due to task setup and processing time. This overhead adds hours to the total run time of the experiments and makes the results sensitive […]
