AWS announced this week that Amazon Braket, their quantum algorithm development environment, is available now in their US East and US West regions.
AWS Free Tier customers receive 1 free hour of simulation time with AWS Free Tier. The product offers managed Jupyter notebooks for development.
According to Amazon:
“Customers can use Amazon Braket to test and troubleshoot quantum algorithms on simulated quantum computers running on computing resources in AWS to help them verify their implementation. When ready, customers can use Amazon Braket to run their quantum algorithms on their choice of quantum processors based on different technologies, including systems from D-Wave, IonQ, and Rigetti. Both simulated and quantum hardware jobs are managed through a unified development experience, and customers pay only for the compute resources used.”
