Explore the basics of quantum computers and learn to run quantum programs on AWS using Amazon Braket, including Grover's algorithm and quantum machine learning for beginners.
Explore the course structure across three sections, from quantum basics to algorithms and programming, with hands-on work on Amazon Braket notebooks, pricing, and security best practices.
Compare classical computers and quantum computers, highlighting qubits, superposition, and entanglement, and learn how gate-based quantum computers differ from classical logic gates.
Explain superposition of qubits, where states 0 and 1 combine with amplitudes alpha and beta in bra–ket form, and visualize theta, phi, phase on the Bloch sphere with Qiskit.
Explore quantum entanglement, where two qubits become correlated so measuring one instantly reveals the other's state, illustrated by gates creating Bell states and enabling parallel computation.
Explore quantum algorithms and hardware, compare classical bits with qubits on the Bloch sphere, and learn how circuits enable speedups with Shor's algorithm, Grover's algorithm, and VQC using Amazon Braket.
Compare quantum hardware and simulators, showing that classical computers can simulate quantum algorithms using formulas and SDKs, but quantum computers are essential for handling many qubits due to memory growth.
Explore annealing based quantum computing, distinct from gate based systems, by formulating problems as a Hamiltonian and applying quantum annealing with D-Wave hardware to minimize energy toward the optimal solution.
Learn how binary numbers underpin quantum computing, convert between binary and decimal, and represent numbers in quantum bits using bracket notation to interpret quantum results.
Explore how quantum gates manipulate qubits, from Bloch sphere representations and X, Y, Z rotations to Hadamard-based Bell states and two-qubit gates.
Explore the matrix representation of quantum gates and their action on state vectors, from zero and one to single qubits, using X, Hadamard, and R gates and four-by-four two-qubit matrices.
Learn practical Amazon Braket usage, coding quantum circuits with the Braket notebook or SDK, and running on local or AWS managed simulators and hardware with pricing structure.
Create an AWS free tier account and set up multi-factor authentication for the root user using an authenticator app to strengthen security.
Launch an Amazon Braket notebook in AWS cloud with a pre-configured environment including Braket SDK, Qiskit, and Penny Lane to prototype quantum algorithms, while enabling inactivity controls to save costs.
Learn to execute Bell's algorithm on an Amazon Braket notebook using the Braket SDK, run on a local simulator, and visualize results with Matplotlib.
Launch an Amazon Braket notebook, write Qiskit code to build a two-qubit Bell circuit with a Hadamard gate, and run it on a local backend to display histogram counts.
Explore how to run and verify scalable qubit circuits on AWS, using the AWS managed simulator to execute Bell's algorithm circuits, compare local versus managed simulation, and manage costs.
Learn to run quantum computations on AWS with Braket, switch from z basis to x basis measurements using observables, configure permissions, monitor costs, and view results stored in S3.
Learn Grover's algorithm for n qubits with Amazon Braket's algorithm library, including oracle construction, Toffoli gate decompositions, and testing on a local simulator.
Explore quantum machine learning with variational quantum classifiers on Amazon Braket, training quantum circuits with classical updates to solve XOR and concentric circle datasets using pennylane and Qiskit.
