Abstract:

Bloqade is an SDK designed to make writing and analyzing the results of analog quantum programs on QuEra's neutral atom quantum computers as seamless and flexible as possible. Currently, QuEra's hardware is on Amazon Braket, the primary method of accessing QuEra's quantum hardware. In this talk I will give an overview of the SDK of both its Python and Julia components, and our open-source roadmap of this SDK. If time permits I’ll also introduce our recent work on a new variational principle called operator learning renormalization group.
