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.

Who this book is for

This book is for the following people:

  • Students who have already taken some introductory quantum computing courses and are ready to learn how to use both quantum annealing and gate-based quantum computing for optimization problems in real-world use cases.
  • Industry professionals and technologists such as systems analysts, business analysts, architects, and developers who want to be introduced to practical skills in using quantum computers through Amazon Braket for practical optimization use cases.
  • Entrepreneurs who want to create a quantum start-up and want to experience some of the tools and capabilities quantum computing has to offer.
  • Vice-presidents of IT, CIOs, vice-presidents of architecture, chief architects, solution architects, actuarial fellows, and other practitioners and professionals who want to evaluate quantum computing for future strategic advantage and to differentiate their companies.
  • Companies already utilizing other AWS capabilities, such as Lambda and EC2, who want to expand to quantum computing within the AWS platform.
