Quantum computing is poised to break into the mainstream, revolutionizing almost every field of technology. In this introductory series of liveProjects, you’ll get ahead of the revolution. Take quantum computing out of the realm of theory to become a practical reality. You’ll learn how to use the Amazon Braket quantum computing simulator to build your first projects as a quantum software engineer. Each project in this series can stand alone, so you can dip into the areas most interesting or relevant to you.

These projects are designed for learning purposes and are not complete, production-ready applications or solutions.

liveProject mentor Or Golan shares what he likes about the Manning liveProject platform.

here's what's included

Project 1 Introduction to Braket API

In this liveProject, you’ll go hands-on with the basics of quantum theory to prepare yourself for building your first quantum applications. You’ll use familiar Python tools to work through the basic building blocks for constructing quantum circuits, as well as exploring quantum gates and how they transform qubits, the basic units of quantum information.

Project 2 Quantum Random Number Generator

In this liveProject, you’ll use the Amazon Braket quantum simulator to generate a quantum random number generator. Generating truly random numbers is an essential aspect of cryptography, and the seed generation process in a public/private key infrastructure. These random numbers can be used as the basis for further cryptographic work that easily outpaces the pseudo-random capabilities of traditional computing.

Project 3 Quantum Communication

In this liveProject, you’ll implement superdense encoding and use the unique properties of qubits to build a communication system between two friends—Alice and Bob. You’ll prepare qubits into a Bell pair, and then utilize quantum gates to implement a messaging system. You’ll then prepare the quantum circuits that allow Bob to receive and read Alice’s messages.

Project 4 Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm

In this liveProject, you’ll create and utilize quantum oracles to determine whether a given function is balanced or constant. You’ll utilize unique quantum superposition to determine algorithmic accuracy over just a single pass of the outcome, potentially massively speeding up systems.

book resources

When you start each of the projects in this series, you'll get full access to the following book for 90 days.

Faisal Nazir
Faisal Nazir is a machine learning specialist working in Amazon Web Services. He has worked on a vast range of technologies in his career including data, analytics, machine learning, event stream processing, security, and telecommunications. He has also been a management consultant in the field of telecommunications, media, and high technology. He holds a master’s in physics from Imperial College London where his final year thesis was on the consistent history interpretation of quantum mechanics. His current work is helping customers use AWS services to implement machine learning solutions at scale. He also has a passion to educate in the use of quantum computing.

Prerequisites

This liveProject is an introduction to quantum computing, therefore, no previous experience in quantum computing is required. You will, however, need intermediate knowledge of Python and common machine learning/data science tools to work through the projects.


TOOLS
  • Intermediate Python (import external libraries from the pip repository, functions, lists)
  • Basics of Jupyter Notebook
  • Basics of NumPy (create NumPy arrays and arrays of arrays)
  • Basics of Matplotlib
