Individual skill

amazon-braket

Runs quantum computing workflows on AWS through Amazon Braket — discovering devices (QPUs and simulators) and their availability, building gate-model circuits and analog Hamiltonian programs, submitting quantum tasks, program sets and hybrid jobs, looking up prices, and capping spend with spending limits. Applies to any request about quantum computing, quantum hardware, quantum simulation, AHS, OpenQASM, or running a quantum algorithm on AWS.

# Amazon Braket

## Primitives

The vocabulary of a Braket workflow, and which reference to open for each.

| Primitive | What it is | Related References | Open it when the request involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Device** | A simulator or QPU, identified by a region-scoped ARN | [devices.md](references/devices.md) | anything about a device: what exists, discovering or filtering the fleet, availability and status (online, offline, retired), which region a device lives in, ARNs, choosing a device for a workload, qubit count, connectivity or topology, native gates, fidelities, calibration data, queue depth, shot and gate limits, paradigm (gate-model vs analog Hamiltonian simulation), whether a device supports program sets, pulse-level control, simulators and local emulators |
| **Program** | The workload/input — one executable (Circuit, AHS, OpenQASM). Which type is legal depends on the device's paradigm | - | - |
| **Quantum task** | One program + shots, run once (the atomic unit Braket meters) | - | - |
| **Task batch** | Many *independent* tasks — SDK-only fallback for when a program set does not fit; works on all devices | [program-sets.md](references/program-sets.md) | see the Program set row; also [running multiple programs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/braket/latest/developerguide/braket-batching-tasks.html) |
| **Program set** | Many programs in **one service-side task** — preferred way to run multiple programs instead of task batch | [program-sets.md](references/program-sets.md) | running more than one program: parameter sweeps, scanning parameter values, task batches, `run_batch`, several circuits submitted together, attaching observables across programs, and minimizing per-task fees when many programs run, program sets. Also [getting started with program sets](https://github.com/amazon-braket/amazon-braket-examples/blob/main/examples/braket_features/program_sets/01_Getting_started_with_program_sets.ipynb) |
| **Hybrid job** | Managed classical-quantum loop that orchestrates many tasks | [hybrid-job.md](references/hybrid-job.md) | hybrid jobs: `@hybrid_job`, algorithm scripts and source modules, `entry_point`, embedded simulators, BYOC and custom container images, CUDA-Q, job execution roles, hyperparameters, checkpoints, and retrieving job results |
