How to use pulse-level control on OQC’s superconducting quantum computer
Amazon Braket Pulse lets you control the low-level analog instructions for quantum computers, to optimize performance or develop new analog protocols, like error suppression and mitigation. Today we show you how and describe some best practices.
Introducing the Wolfram Quantum Framework for Amazon Braket
In this post, we’ll explore the Wolfram Quantum Framework and show you how to connect it with Amazon Braket to run quantum algorithms.
Graph coloring with physics-inspired graph neural networks
In this post we show how physics-inspired graph neural networks can be used to solve the notoriously hard graph-coloring problem, at scale. This can help in an huge number of familiar resource-allocation problems from sports to rental cars.
Perfect imperfections: how AWS is innovating on diamond materials for quantum communication with Element Six
This post introduces key concepts of quantum communication showing how diamonds can be used in quantum networking nodes. And we’re announcing a new research collaboration with Element Six to explore ways to develop and improve synthetic diamond for quantum networking.
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 […]
Implementing a quantum-secured network in a metropolitan area
The AWS Center for Quantum Networking (CQN) has completed its first trial of quantum-secured communication in a customer environment. With a mission to address the fundamental scientific and engineering challenges to build quantum networks, we work with customers to evaluate the current state of the technology and its fit for cloud infrastructure. We’ve heard from […]
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 […]
Optimization of robot trajectory planning with nature-inspired and hybrid quantum algorithms
Introduction The problem of robot motion planning is pervasive across many industry verticals, including (for example) automotive, manufacturing, and logistics. In the automotive industry, robotic path optimization problems can be found across the value chain in body shops, paint shops, assembly, and logistics, among others [1]. Typically, hundreds of robots operate in a single plant […]
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 […]
