On December 3, according to foreign media reports, Amazon, which has made remarkable achievements in cloud computing, is also developing towards quantum computing. Its cloud computing service department has launched a quantum computing service platform and set up a quantum computing center and a quantum solution laboratory.
Amazon cloud computing division AWS announced on its official website on Tuesday the launch of a quantum computing service platform and the establishment of a quantum computing center.
According to the information on the official website of AWS, the quantum computing service platform set up by cloud computing department is called Amazon braket. This management service platform will allow scientists, researchers and developers to use computers from multiple quantum computing software and hardware providers to conduct experiments in one place.
The braket of Amazon's quantum computing management service platform comes from Dirac symbol, which is one of the basic concepts in quantum mechanics, which is also called "bra ket symbol". Braket is usually used to represent the state of quantum mechanics. Amazon extends it to the name of quantum computing management service platform.
Amazon cloud computing service team will also set up a quantum computing center adjacent to California Institute of technology, which will bring together top researchers and engineers in quantum computing to accelerate the development of quantum computing hardware and software.
According to the official website, Amazon will also set up a quantum solutions laboratory, a project to connect Amazon's quantum computing experts, selected consulting partners and Amazon cloud computing customers.
