How Strangeworks is using Amazon Braket to explore the aircraft cargo loading problem

Quantum computers promise to revolutionize computation for problems across many industrial sectors, though understanding exactly how useful this technology will be remains an open question. In this blog post, the team from Strangeworks, an AWS Partner, evaluates different implementations of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) against an aircraft cargo loading problem posed by Airbus […]

Accelerating the Quantum Toolkit for Python (QuTiP) with cuQuantum on AWS

Simulating quantum systems using classical computers remains a computational challenge. In fact, the resources required for these simulations scale exponentially with the size of the system being simulated. This fact is at the core of the motivation to build a quantum computer. Quantum computers have the potential to surpass even the most powerful supercomputers when […]

Introducing Local Device Emulator for Verbatim Circuits on Amazon Braket
