Running Jupyter notebooks as Hybrid Jobs on Amazon Braket, you get performance and convenience of jobs, without modifying code. In this post, we show how you can scale up from exploratory notebook to repeatable and reliable experiments on different quantum hardware.

Over 2800 developers from the PennyLane community got together during the virtual QHack event in February. Today we bring you some highlights and tell you about the winning projects.

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Have you ever heard about error correction? Without it, we could not obtain awe-inspiring pictures of Jupiter and its moons, conduct intelligible mobile phone calls, or have reliable computers. In this blog post, we explain the basic ideas behind error correction and how to apply it to quantum computing. In addition, we discuss how we […]

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 […]

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 […]
