Classiq and AWS Power Quantum-Classical Chemistry Innovation in Singapore with Hatch

Introduction In biochemical processes development and analysis, binding energy, the energy released when a small molecule docks into a protein’s active site, determines how strongly a compound, such as a ligand, interacts with its protein target. Early-stage computational prediction of this quantity helps research teams prioritize candidates before committing to resource-intensive laboratory testing. Conventional methods […]

Introducing the Amazon Braket Learning Plan and Digital Badge

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 […]

How to run CUDA-Q programs on Amazon Braket notebook instances

Amazon Braket provides access to quantum computing resources and tools to develop quantum algorithms, test them on quantum circuit simulators, and run them on different quantum hardware technologies. Amazon Braket notebooks provide customers with a fully managed development environment that comes pre-installed with a range of and quantum development frameworks, including the Amazon Braket SDK […]

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 […]

Quantum Monte Carlo on Quantum Computers

In this blog post we develop a chemistry use case by augmenting classical algorithms for Quantum Monte Carlo with quantum computers. We will explain how to run these quantum-classical hybrid algorithms using Amazon Braket. You can find the code presented in this blog post in an accompanying Jupyter notebook. Overview Accurately determining the electronic energies […]
