Please note: this is the first session (Introduction) of a workshop that takes place over two sessions. It is recommended that you attend both sessions. You need to register for the second (Advanced) session separately.
In this free hands-on workshop you will learn how to use Amazon Braket, a fully managed quantum computing service designed to help speed up scientific research and software development for quantum computing. You will skill up your quantum computing knowledge and have the opportunity to use quantum simulators and quantum computers to complete hands-on exercises. By popular demand this workshop will also cover analog Hamiltonian simulation with the 256-qubit processor Aquila from QuEra Computing, Inc. You will be provided with free 72 hours access to Amazon Braket to experiment with example notebooks and run programs on available quantum resources.
The workshop will be split in two 3-hour sessions. The first day of the workshop will be aimed at first-time users of Amazon Braket and introduce quantum simulators and gate-based quantum computers. The second day will be dedicated to more advanced topics on the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and analog Hamiltonian simulation with QuEra Aquila. The workshop is designed to be self-contained, but basic knowledge of the Python programming language and some familiarity with quantum gates and circuits is desirable. Advanced users who wish to skip introductory content can attend day 2 only.

Research Computing and Data Workshops Series
We are pleased to bring to the UCF Research community a series of workshops on scientific computing and research data management. These workshops are being jointly presented by UCF Libraries, UCF Graduate and Research IT, and UCF Advanced Research Computing Center (ARCC) and will feature some guest speakers from the broader research community. This series also includes Software and Data Carpentries workshops (http://carpentries.org) which have been made possible through the sponsorship of Office of Research.
