Community Detection using Hybrid Quantum Annealing on Amazon Braket – Part 1
As of 11/17/2022, D-Wave is no longer available on Amazon Braket and has transitioned to the AWS Marketplace. Therefore, information on this page may be outdated. Learn more. Many customers are facing the challenge of efficiently extracting information hidden within complex network structures. For example, a healthcare insurance company needs to identify fraudulent claims through […]
Implementing a Recommendation Engine with Amazon Braket
In this blog post, we detail an approach to solving a feature selection problem that implements a recommendation engine using Amazon Braket – the quantum computing service by Amazon Web Services. Our approach tackles the “cold-start” problem that recommendation systems face, produces a solution comparable with traditional approaches, and reaches the required levels of accuracy […]
Exploring Simon’s Algorithm with Daniel Simon
Introduction Customers exploring quantum computing often rely on existing algorithms to learn the basics or evaluate new services. Amazon Braket includes many such algorithms in its SDK and managed notebooks. In this post, we will explore one of the first quantum algorithms invented, and a new addition to our Amazon Braket examples: Simon’s algorithm. We […]
Quantum Chemistry with Qu&Co’s (now Pasqal) QUBEC on Amazon Braket
(Update: Pasqal and Qu&Co announced a merger on January 11, 2022.) In this post, we discuss the progress and limitations of chemistry simulations on current quantum computers, and introduce Qu&Co‘s QUBEC, a quantum computational platform that is specifically designed for chemistry and materials science simulations. The post describes QUBEC’s architecture and how it integrates with […]
Exploring quantum error mitigation with Mitiq and Amazon Braket
By Ryan LaRose, a researcher with Unitary Fund and Michigan State University; Nathan Shammah, CTO of Unitary Fund; Peter Karalekas, Software Engineer at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing; and Eric Kessler, Sr. Manager of Applied Science for Amazon Braket. In this blog post, we demonstrate how to use Mitiq, an open-source library for quantum […]
Setting up your local development environment in Amazon Braket
As a fully managed quantum computing service, Amazon Braket provides a development environment based on Jupyter notebooks for you to experiment with quantum algorithms, test them on quantum circuit simulators, and run them on different quantum hardware technologies. However, Amazon Braket does not restrict you to use only the managed notebooks and the AWS management […]
Simulating quantum circuits with Amazon Braket
Whether you want to research quantum algorithms, study the effects of noise in today’s quantum computers, or just prototype and debug your code, the ability to run large numbers of quantum circuits fast and cost effectively is critical to accelerate innovation. This post discusses the different types of quantum circuit simulators offered by Amazon Braket […]
AWS supporting the Quantum Software Research Hub led by Osaka University in Japan
Since Amazon Braket, the AWS quantum computing service, was launched, customers have said they want to learn the basics of the technology, explore quantum computing, and discuss use cases with experts in their local communities. In Japan, AWS is working with Osaka University through the Quantum Software Research Hub to educate enterprise, startup, and academic […]
Generating quantum randomness with Amazon Braket
Introduction – the need for randomness Random numbers are a crucial resource used throughout modern computer science. For example, in computation, randomized algorithms give efficient solutions for a variety of fundamental problems for which no deterministic algorithms are available. This includes Monte Carlo methods that have widespread applications in science for the simulation of physical, […]
Exploring industrial use cases in the BMW Group Quantum Computing Challenge
Today, the BMW Group launched a global open innovation challenge focused on discovering potential quantum computing solutions for real-world use cases: The BMW Group Quantum Computing Challenge. We are delighted to collaborate with BMW on this challenge, and to invite the quantum community explore new approaches to industrial applications. It’s still early days in quantum […]
