Hello everyone, welcome to a new devspedia story. Today we have some very exciting news; just hours ago Amazon's cloud computing service (AWS) introduced a new fully managed service that allows programmers and researchers from around the world to finally start experimenting with Quantum Computing. They called it Braket!
Earlier on Monday December 2nd 2019, AWS's release an official announcement introducing Braket, their new fully managed service that helps you get started with quantum computing by providing a development environment to explore and design quantum algorithms, test them on simulated quantum computers, and run them on your choice of different quantum hardware technologies.
In fact, that was kind of an unexpected move from AWS, specially other cloud computing giants such as Google, IBM, and Microsoft have been talking so much recently about their experiments and achievements with Quantum Computing, but none of them have released this to the public as a managed service, and during all this buzz, AWS was completely silent!
Amazon Web Services (AWS) are not building their own Quantum Computing hardware tho, in fact, they're partnering with big names to offer hardware like:
The new service allows you to execute your quantum algorithm on your choice of quantum hardware, paying only for the time that you use, similar to most of their other cloud services.
