Amazon Braket is a fully managed AWS service that helps researchers, scientists, and developers get started with quantum computing. Quantum computing has the potential to solve computational problems that are beyond the reach of classical computers because it harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to process information in new ways.

Gaining access to quantum computing hardware can be expensive and inconvenient. Limited access makes it difficult to run algorithms, optimize designs, evaluate the current state of the technology, and plan for when to invest your resources for maximum benefit. Braket helps you overcome these challenges.

Braket offers a single point of access to a variety of quantum computing technologies. With Braket, you can:

  • Explore and design quantum and hybrid algorithms.

  • Test algorithms on different quantum circuit simulators.

  • Run algorithms on different types of quantum computers.

  • Create proof of concept applications.

Defining quantum problems and programming quantum computers to solve them requires a new set of skills. To help you gain these skills, Braket offers different environments to simulate and run your quantum algorithms. You can find the approach that best suits your requirements and get started quickly with a set of example environments called notebooks.

Braket development has three stages :

  • Build - Braket provides fully managed Jupyter notebook environments that make it easy to get started. Braket notebooks are pre-installed with sample algorithms, resources, and developer tools, including the Amazon Braket SDK. With the Amazon Braket SDK, you can build quantum algorithms and then test and run them on different quantum computers and simulators by changing a single line of code.

  • Test - Braket provides access to fully managed, high-performance quantum circuit simulators. You can test and validate your circuits. Braket handles all the underlying software components and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) clusters to take away the burden of simulating quantum circuits on classical high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure.

  • Run - Braket provides secure, on-demand access to different types of quantum computers. You have access to gate-based quantum computers from IonQ, IQM, and Rigetti, as well as an Analog Hamiltonian Simulator from QuEra. You also have no upfront commitment, and no need to procure access through individual providers.
