Pawsey: AWS Quantum 101 Using Amazon Braket
Join us as AWS Quantum Specialists introduce quantum simulators and gate-based quantum computers, before turning to more advanced topics.
This workshop includes presentation as well as hands-on practice with AWS Braket.
This is a free, online event.
Who is this training for?
- Research Scientists, Data Scientists, and individuals who use HPC and other computational methods for your domain/s
- ALL domains of research, including but not limited to: physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, security, genomics, radio astronomy, etc.
Agenda:
- Introduce quantum computing, Amazon Braket service, quantum simulators and gate-based quantum computers
- Introduce Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and Braket Hybrid Jobs
- Closer Look at QuEra Aquila and the new gate-based device from IonQ – Aria
Pre-Requisites:
- Basic knowledge of the Python programming language
- Desirable: Some familiarity with gates and circuits
