Amazon Unit Launches Quantum Computing Service
Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) key subsidiary Amazon Web Services (AWS) is diving deeper into the world of quantum computing. The unit announced on Thursday that it has opened for general availability its Amazon Braket, described by the company as "a fully managed AWS service that provides a development environment to help customers explore and design quantum algorithms."
The service allows users to test quantum algorithms in an environment that simulates quantum computers. Customers will also be able to diagnose problems that arise with those algorithms. Once an algorithm has been debugged and prepared for rollout, users can run it on AWS' quantum processors.
According to Amazon, these processors are based on numerous different technologies from various providers, including IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Systems. Amazon Braket users will be charged only for the resources used, the company added.
