Amazon Braket simulators
Amazon Braket now provides five simulators that allow quantum developers to create their ideal circuit to meet their application or business use case without worrying about qubit connectivity. Two of these simulators are run on the local computer, while three are special simulators created to model quantum circuits and are run on Amazon’s hardware. In the following table, you can see that there are various qubit limits on each. You can pick the appropriate simulator based on the number of qubits desired and whether you want to simulate noise or not:
Table 2.4 – Braket simulator device information
Chapter 8, Using Hybrid Algorithms – Optimization Using Gate Based Quantum Computers, will go into more detail about these simulators, the kind of results they provide, and limitations on the type of circuit, gate depth, and time of execution.
However, here is a brief description of the role each will play in the execution...
