Given a three-dimensional model of a drug’s potential target (the binding site), what is the orientation of the drug candidate molecule that best “fits” (docks onto) this binding site? Structure-based drug design involves the use of computational tools to answer this very question! Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a leading Japanese pharmaceutical company, specializes in the […]

Introduction In this post, we explore the mathematical foundations and practical implementations of quantum measurement techniques using Amazon Braket. We examine this subject through multiple perspectives: action of gates as basis transformation, projection as inner product, projector formalism, and observable formalism. A key insight that we’ll develop is understanding basis transformations as tools for converting […]

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a method of exchanging encryption keys that complements traditional and post-quantum cryptography by offering a different kind of security guarantee: the ability to reveal whether a key exchange has been observed or disrupted. This blog explores BB84[i] —the first and most well-known QKD protocol—to illustrate how quantum principles can be […]

Quantum computers promise to revolutionize computation for problems across many industrial sectors, though understanding exactly how useful this technology will be remains an open question. In this blog post, the team from Strangeworks, an AWS Partner, evaluates different implementations of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) against an aircraft cargo loading problem posed by Airbus […]

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 […]

Available today, quantum computing developers, educators, and enthusiasts can learn the foundations of quantum computing on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with the Amazon Braket Digital Learning Plan and earn their own Digital badge – at no additional cost. You earn the badge after completing a series of learning courses and scoring at least 80% on an […]

Amazon Braket enables customers to design and run quantum algorithms on a broad selection of quantum hardware through a unified interface. Today, we expand the hardware available on Braket with the general availability of IQM’s latest quantum processing unit (QPU). The device, named Emerald, is a 54-qubit superconducting QPU providing customers higher fidelity gates and […]

This post was contributed by Damian Steiger, Martin Schuetz, Alexander Opfolter, and Helmut Katzgraber The five winning teams of the Airbus and BMW Group Quantum Computing Challenge were announced today at the Q2B conference in Silicon Valley, California. The challenge, focused on tackling the most pressing applications in aviation and the automative industry, was a […]

Fidelity and AWS have teamed up to put their brains together and create a Combinatorial Brain Surgeon (iCBS) to operate on AI models. This innovative pruning algorithm is just what the doctor ordered for your large-scale AI needs. Check out our latest blog for the full diagnosis.
