Amazon Braket Quantum Application Development

With Amazon Braket, customers can test and evaluate a range of quantum computers and research quantum algorithms. This course focuses on the skills needed to use Braket and builds on the Amazon Braket Getting Started course.

In this course, you will learn how to use Braket to run programs on quantum processing units (QPUs). You will explore advanced service features, such as cost tracking and Amazon Braket Hybrid Jobs. Through demos and exercises, you will also learn about the features, functionality, and applications of Braket.

‐      Course level: 200 (Intermediate)

‐      Duration: 1.5 hours

Activities

This course includes presentations, demonstrations, videos, and assessments.
