Demo for Ion Q using AWS Hosted by Harrisburg University

November 16, 2020

Presentation and code developed by Alex Khan.

Note: Portions of code were taken from AWS sample code. IBM QPU image is the property of IBM

/ This is an introductory set for running IonQ using AWS Braket Service. Contains powerpoint presentation and Jupyter notebook

The presentation outlines the steps to get started with AWS Braket and provides a sample code (Jupyter notebook) with two example circuits that can be run on IonQ and compared with other QPUs example IBM-Quantum.

The purpose of the demo is to show the higher quality results from an actual quantum device due to the higher fidelity and full interconnectivity between the qubits.

It cant be overstated, that IonQ device has 11 ions suspended in a magnetic field and are being used to compute through gate operations through laser beams.
