Amazon is active in quantum on several fronts. In 2019, they jumped into quantum computing with the introduction of [Amazon Braket](https://aws.amazon.com/braket/), a cloud service that allows companies and researchers to experiment with quantum computers from leading vendors including IonQ, IQM, Rigetti and QuEra. Experts from their [Quantum Solutions Lab](https://aws.amazon.com/quantum-solutions-lab/) help companies develop quantum software to explore valuable use cases. And they recently announced [Ocelot](https://www.amazon.science/blog/amazon-announces-ocelot-quantum-chip), their first quantum chip that aims to accelerate the arrival of fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Please join us on Tuesday, May 6 at the [Princeton Public Library](https://princetonlibrary.org/) as our meetup continues to explore all things quantum.
