Winners announced in the BMW Group Quantum Computing Challenge

The four winning teams of the BMW Quantum Computing Challenge were announced this morning at the annual Q2B conference in Santa Clara, California. The challenge, focused on discovering potential quantum computing solutions for real-world use cases, was a collaboration between the BMW Group and the HAQM Quantum Solutions Lab Professional Services team. “We at the […]

Updates from re:Invent 2021

With so much happening at the annual re:Invent conference, it would be easy to miss some of the updates in AWS Quantum Technologies. In this post we summarize four recent announcements: a new feature that helps customers run hybrid quantum-classical algorithms more easily and with better performance, two new quantum processing units (QPUs) coming to […]

Realizing quantum spin liquid phase on an analog Hamiltonian Rydberg simulator

This week at re:Invent, we announced the future availability of a Rydberg-atom based quantum computer from QuEra Computing. Launching in 2022, it will introduce a new quantum computing paradigm to HAQM Braket, Analog Hamiltonian Simulation (AHS). AHS uses programmable quantum devices to emulate the behavior of other quantum mechanical systems. Already today, researchers in academia […]

Community Detection using Hybrid Quantum Annealing on HAQM Braket – Part 1

As of 11/17/2022, D-Wave is no longer available on HAQM 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 Therefore, information on this page may be outdated.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 HAQM Braket

In this blog post, we detail an approach to solving a feature selection problem that implements a recommendation engine using HAQM Braket – the quantum computing service by HAQM 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. HAQM 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 HAQM Braket examples: Simon’s algorithm. We […]

Quantum Chemistry with Qu&Co’s (now Pasqal) QUBEC on HAQM 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 […]

Mitiq Overview

Exploring quantum error mitigation with Mitiq and HAQM 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 HAQM Braket. In this blog post, we demonstrate how to use Mitiq, an open-source library for quantum […]

Setting up your local development environment in HAQM Braket

As a fully managed quantum computing service, HAQM 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, HAQM Braket does not restrict you to use only the managed notebooks and the AWS management […]
