Amazon Braket is a quantum cloud computing service from AWS. The service is presented as helping researchers and developers use quantum computers and simulators to build quantum algorithms on AWS. Its stated uses include algorithm research, testing quantum hardware, and building quantum software with the Amazon Braket software development kit.
AWS says Braket provides access to several hardware approaches through third-party providers rather than operating a single in-house modality. The page lists superconducting systems from IQM and Rigetti, ion-trap systems from AQT and IonQ, and neutral-atom systems from QuEra Computing. AWS also describes related offerings including Braket Direct for dedicated device access and Quantum Embark, an advisory program for customers new to quantum. Because Amazon Braket is part of AWS, it is best categorized as big-tech rather than a standalone hardware company.
