☁️ AWS Braket
Multi-vendor quantum computing as a service
Your Progress
0 / 5 completed☁️ Quantum Computing Meets AWS Cloud
AWS Braket (launched 2020) provides unified access to quantum hardware from multiple vendors—IonQ, Rigetti, OQC, QuEra, and classical simulators. Unlike platform-specific services (IBM Quantum, Google Quantum AI), Braket offers vendor-neutral quantum computing integrated with AWS infrastructure: S3 storage, Lambda functions, SageMaker ML, CloudWatch monitoring.
💡 The Braket Advantage
Multi-vendor access: Compare different quantum technologies (trapped ion vs superconducting) without learning separate platforms. Cloud integration: Quantum jobs trigger AWS services—results stored in S3, analyzed with SageMaker, visualized in QuickSight. Pay-per-use pricing with no upfront hardware investment.
🎯 What You'll Learn
🏗️ Braket Architecture
IonQ (trapped ion), Rigetti (superconducting), OQC (superconducting), QuEra (neutral atom)—unified API abstracts hardware differences.
Circuit construction, device selection, job submission—consistent interface across all quantum hardware providers.
S3 (results storage), Lambda (triggers), SageMaker (hybrid ML), CloudWatch (monitoring), IAM (access control).
🔬 Use Cases
Quantum chemistry (molecular simulation with VQE), optimization (QAOA for logistics/finance), machine learning (quantum kernels, QNNs), cryptography (quantum random number generation). Braket Hybrid Jobs enable iterative algorithms where classical optimization loops call quantum circuits—ideal for NISQ-era applications.
