Braket Until You Make It
It’s amazing that quantum computing can be both useful and useless at the same time.
After reading a Peter Diamandis’ article about Rigetti’s Forest SDK for making quantum computing accessible to hacks like me, I was excited to try it out. By the time I had learned about it, however, Forest was no longer the democratization of quantum computing. It wasn’t a “quantum computing for dummies tool”.
I was looking for something like Scratch Coding for quantum computing. Allow me to drag and drop some elements onto a graphic so I can see what type of protein I can fold. Can I unlock a padlock with one guess? Can I hash a password? Can I play Guess Who?
There’s an opportunity to create such tools for novices using AWS Braket, Google’s Quantum AI, or Azure’s Quantum Cloud. Make it dumb easy for someone to make something useful. Quantum Computing needs to get out of the concept space. There’s an opportunity to the company that can do this.
