Amazon Braket is a new, fully managed AWS service that enables scientists, researchers, and developers to begin experimenting with computers from quantum hardware providers (including D-Wave, IonQ, and Rigetti) in a single place.
Amazon Braket provides a single environment to design, test, and run quantum algorithms without having to setup and manage infrastructure, negotiate access with multiple vendors, and write code to integrate different environments. It gives access to a variety of different types of quantum computers, including gate based and quantum annealing superconductors, and ion trap hardware. Amazon Braket makes it easy to run hybrid quantum algorithms that combine quantum operations with optimization and other processes running on classical compute instances. This allows to create iterative systems that help mitigate the effect of errors inherent in todays’ quantum computing systems.
Braket takes advantage of a new development toolkit as well as existing tools such as Jupyter notebooks to let customers get started on quantum algorithms, with the choice of executing either low-level quantum circuits or fully managed hybrid quantum-classical algorithms. Customers will be able to get training and advice from the Amazon Quantum Solutions Lab, which brings together experts from AWS and a set of consulting and technology partners.
