Building your First Quantum Circuit with Amazon Braket

Languages Available: Español (Latinoamérica) | 日本語 | 한국어 | Português (Brasil)

This lab demonstrates the Amazon Braket service by creating a circuit in the quantum circuit simulator. This lab provides an immersive learning experience that allows you to dive into performing quantum operations using Amazon Braket. The lab allows you to perform quantum computing using an Amazon Braket Notebook instance. In the lab you create your fist quantum circuit using a full state-vector simulator (SV1) and a tensor-network simulator (TN1) device. Upon logging into the AWS Console, you navigate to the Amazon Braket notebook and perform your quantum operations within the Amazon Braket notebook. Inside the Amazon Braket notebook you prepare a GHZ State (named after the three physicists Greengerger, Horne, and Zeilinger). The GHZ state is often referred to as the “Hello World” tutorial of quantum computing. When the quantum tasks are complete, your results are saved to an Amazon S3 bucket where you can download and review the results.
