Amazon Braket Customers

We expect the amount of data from the telematics of self-driving cars will grow exponentially as self-driving technology becomes prevalent, and we wanted to explore whether we can apply quantum computing to create novel solutions. It was easy for us to get started with simulators and access quantum computers on Amazon Braket, so we moved ahead with a PoC for telematics analysis. We first created a quantum neural network that computes driver scores, and then ran it with Amazon Braket, using the IonQ quantum computer. With each successful test, we further experimented with an increasing number of qubits. These methods and concepts we learned with Amazon Braket will continue to be applicable and help prepare our business for the expected vehicle data tsunami.

Quantum computing has the potential to outperform existing computational methods when it comes to important questions in drug discovery. In fact, the computational demand of running accurate quantum calculations scales quickly out of reach for classical computers as the size of the molecular system in our research increases, and we must resort to approximations that sacrifice accuracy for efficiency. By collaborating with the Amazon Quantum Solutions Lab and QSimulate, we’ve been able to quickly build and test a cloud-based approach using multiple compute resources on AWS for a critical drug discovery process – a process we plan to transition to a quantum computer in the future when it is practical. Looking ahead, Amazon Braket has the potential to substantially benefit the research and scientific community by providing on-demand access to quantum computing technologies and accelerate innovation in biotechnology.

Enel distributes electricity through a network of over 2.2 million kilometers and with around 74 million business and household end users worldwide. Because of our wide service network, the ability to optimize our resource planning is an essential component of digital transformation, and one that we can turn into a concrete advantage. During a collaboration with DATA Reply and AWS, we have tested innovative techniques to perform optimization using Amazon EC2 resources, as well as today’s quantum computers through Amazon Braket. These techniques are promising, and we expect they will lead to solutions that can deliver savings to our operations, especially over time as quantum hardware matures.

While it’s hard to predict which products and sectors will be disrupted the most by quantum computation, or when the disruptions will happen, there is great risk in being caught off-guard and great opportunity in managing the uncertainties wisely. The wise path involves continually exploring where the algorithmic advantages may lie and being ready to run on whichever quantum computer offers the resources needed to achieve the advantage. A quantum computing service, like Amazon Braket, that offers ready access to multiple hardware devices enables quantum readiness and agility.

Quantum computing is enabling us to support customers to advance development in areas such as drug discovery and development, battery tech, and material science. Working with Amazon Braket and with the support from the Amazon Quantum Solutions Lab, the Rahko-led consortium with Johnson Matthey, King’s College London, and the National Physical Laboratory, was awarded an Innovate UK Grant for Quantifi, a project focused on bringing near-term quantum computing capability to material science. The ability to model materials at the quantum level will allow us to pave the way for significant advance across many critical research areas.

At Volkswagen, we want to gain in-depth understanding of the meaningful use of quantum computing in a corporate environment. The key will be the testing and continuous further development of algorithms on various quantum computers. For the first time, Amazon Braket makes it possible to address and use quantum computers of different service providers via a standardized programming interface. This offers considerable opportunities for accelerating development work and improving our quantum algorithms. We are convinced that Amazon Braket can help deliver the benefits of quantum computing to society and industry even faster. 

Classiq quantum software platform is tightly coupled with Amazon Braket, delivering to customers a flexible solution for creating, deploying and executing pure-quantum and hybrid quantum/classical solutions on a wide range of quantum computers supported by AWS. Classiq is based in the US and Israel and helps organizations worldwide build internal quantum expertise and quickly execute their quantum computing plans. 

We are excited for the launch of Braket Pulse, a feature that allows a low-level access and control of quantum hardware backends in the Amazon Braket service. At ColdQuanta, we see this launch as an opportunity to further develop the quantum compilers in SuperstaQ, now with the variety of hardware platforms provided by Amazon Braket.

Amazon Braket offers a simple but expressive API, access to hardware and powerful quantum simulators, and full-fledged integration with the AWS infrastructure. This enables us to build robust and scalable hybrid quantum-classical solutions in a short amount of time, and allows our customers to securely execute large scale simulations within our proprietary chemistry, optimization and multi-physics quantum algorithms.

The team at Q-CTRL is excited to have been an early user of pulse-level control through Amazon Braket. Q-CTRL's published results have demonstrated increased algorithm performance by up to 9000x over conventional approaches. We're thrilled that now, with the reach of the pulse control feature release from Amazon Braket, we’ll be able to utilize this capability on several backends to provide multiple orders of magnitude improvement in QPU performance.

QC Ware’s quantum algorithms complement AWS’s IaaS offerings, and provide significant value to customers in finance, life sciences, manufacturing, and energy that are looking to engage in quantum computing. Building on AWS allowed QC Ware to leverage Amazon Braket and Amazon EC2 to offer a highly performant, secure, scalable, and impactful platform to customers.

QCI’s partnership with AWS allows users, with Qatalyst, to access their QPUs of choice via Braket, easily selecting the best QPU for the best answer to their complex problems in a simple way. This furthers our goal to democratize quantum computing for non-quantum experts, eliminating expensive, lengthy, complex programming. Qatalyst/AWS allows customers to solve critical problems in industries including energy, healthcare/pharma, financial services, manufacturing, and retail, right now.

With the large trend toward application based services, there exists a need to focus on how organizations integrate quantum computing into their existing workflows. Strangeworks offers access to quantum computing with simplified contracts and pricing to easily enable domain experts to perform activities such as benchmarking quantum hardware and optimizing spend, circumventing the need for an education in quantum information. AWS and Amazon Braket provide the foundation for hybrid compute services to deliver cutting edge solutions to customers across industry verticals.
