Η Google και η IBM μπορεί να ανταγωνίζονται για την κβαντική υπεροχή, αλλά η Amazon σαν μεσάζων ανακοίνωσε ότι ξεκινά μια προεπισκόπηση της υπηρεσίας Amazon bracket.
The new project is the company's attempt to turn quantum computing into a service you'll be able to access on the internet, and was announced about a month after announcing Azure Quantum from Microsoft.
"The Amazon Braket είναι μια πλήρως διαχειριζόμενη υπηρεσία AWS, με ασφάλεια και κρυπτογράφηση σε κάθε επίπεδο”, he says the company on her blog.
For now, it looks like a very limited service, where Amazon's enterprise customers will be able to experiment with it implementation simulations on a set of existing quantum computers by collaborators D-Wave, IonQ, and Rigetti. (IonQ is working with Microsoft on the Azure Quantum project.)
“This new service is designed to let you have some hands-on experience with qubits and quantum circuits. You can create and test your own circuits in a simulated environment and then run them on a real quantum computer, ”says Amazon.
The company also says it is building the AWS Center for Quantum Computing, a lab near its Institute of Technology Californias (Caltech), where she will be able to explore her quantum computers, but also more uses for quantum computers. The director of the company's quantum computing center confirmed to Wired that Amazon is working on quantum hardware.
Theoretically, quantum computers could calculate much faster than traditional supercomputers, because their bits can exist in multiple quantum states, instead of using (1) on or off (0).
But quantum computers are rare and extremely expensive. So Amazon and Microsoft are trying to offer them through a shared and managed environment, just as Amazon already does with the AWS computer platform. This invisible empire of servers serves as the backbone of many of the Internet services you use today.
