A sneak peek into the future with quantum computing
summary
Prediction that 2021 sees quantum computing blossom leads to a live demo of Amazon Braket with hardware access to Rigetti IonQ and D‑Wave, plus simulators: SV1 (~34 qubits), tensor GPU (~50 qubits) and noisy DM1 (~17 qubits). A Bell-state circuit runs 1,000 shots giving ~50/50 outcomes, a QAOA graph example runs 100,000 shots to find a 4‑node clique, and on-demand runs cost about 30 cents per run using PennyLane.
