Overview of this book

Amazon Braket is a cloud-based pay-per-use platform for executing quantum algorithms on cutting-edge quantum computers and simulators. It is ideal for developing robust apps with the latest quantum devices. With this book, you'll take a hands-on approach to learning how to take real-world problems and run them on quantum devices. You'll begin with an introduction to the Amazon Braket platform and learn about the devices currently available on the platform, their benefits, and their purpose. Then, you'll review key quantum concepts and algorithms critical to converting real-world problems into a quantum circuit or binary quadratic model based on the appropriate device and its capability. The book also covers various optimization use cases, along with an explanation of the code. Finally, you'll work with a framework using code examples that will help to solve your use cases with quantum and quantum-inspired technologies. Later chapters cover custom-built functions and include almost 200 figures and diagrams to visualize key concepts. You’ll be able to scan the capabilities provided by Amazon Braket and explore the functions to adapt them for specific use cases. By the end of this book, you’ll have the tools to integrate your current business apps and AWS data with Amazon Braket to solve constrained and multi-objective optimization problems.

Concluding Section 1

We now end Section 1. We have gone over the basics of Amazon Braket and its components.

In Chapter 1, Setting up Amazon Braket, we reviewed how to get started with Amazon Braket and its various components.

In Chapter 2, Braket Devices Explained, we looked at the devices that are available on Amazon Braket.

In Chapter 3, User Setup, Tasks, and Understanding Device Costs, we went into more detail about the user administration, including the user group setup and permissions, and we explained the cost structure of the devices.

In this chapter, we wrote a simple quantum circuit and executed it on the local and Amazon Braket SV1 simulators.

In Section 2, we will go over the mathematical and quantum concepts that are necessary to start using the quantum annealer, gate quantum computers, and hybrid circuits, which use both classical code and quantum computers. These building blocks and fundamentals will be necessary to gain an understanding of how quantum...
