So this is a tool for developing and experimenting with quantum algorithms without needing access to an actual quantum computer. It runs in Colab and simulates the expected results on a regular computer. I don’t know whether there are other existing tools in this space, but that seems really cool since it lets regular people explore the ideas behind quantum computing, and makes it faster for developers to iterate on algorithms.

Doesn't Amazon AWS already have this?

  We don't want our monthly invoice to be uncertain.

    Sorry you must be thinking of classical AWS

    That took like 20 seconds. Great catch.

  And real quantum computers. https://aws.amazon.com/braket/quantum-computing-research/ https://aws.amazon.com/braket/quantum-computing-research/

Not exactly new no. QC simulators have been in use since before the actual machine have. And even a schmuck like me has developed a QVM for a phd nearly a decade ago. https://github.com/yvdriess/qvm https://github.com/yvdriess/qvm Their qvm is probably more accurately stimulating the exact machine behaviour of their hardware.
