Amazon Braket Adds Per-Device Spending Limits for QPUs

🔒 Amazon Braket now lets customers set per-device spending limits for quantum processing units (QPUs), enabling tighter cost controls and automated validation of task submissions. Tasks that would exceed remaining budgets are rejected at submission, and limits apply only to on-demand QPU tasks—not to simulators, notebook instances, hybrid jobs, or Braket Direct reservation tasks. Available now in all supported AWS Regions at no additional charge, limits can be updated or deleted any time; researchers may also apply for AWS Cloud Credits for Research to offset experiments.

Amazon Braket Adds AQT IBEX Q1 Trapped-Ion QPU in Europe

🔬 Amazon Braket now offers access to IBEX Q1, a 12-qubit trapped-ion QPU from Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) featuring full all-to-all connectivity that eliminates the need for intermediate SWAP gates. The device is available on-demand and via Hybrid Jobs, and customers can reserve dedicated capacity through Braket Direct with hourly pricing and no upfront commitments. IBEX Q1 runs in the Europe (Stockholm) Region with launch access Tuesdays and Wednesdays 09:00–16:00 UTC. Accredited researchers may apply for AWS Cloud Credits for Research to support experiments.

Amazon Braket Adds Native CUDA-Q Support in Notebooks

🔬 Amazon Braket notebook instances now include native support for CUDA-Q, enabled by upgrading the underlying OS to Amazon Linux 2023 to deliver improved performance, security, and compatibility for quantum development and production-ready workflows. Developers can run GPU-accelerated quantum circuit simulation alongside access to QPUs from IonQ, Rigetti, and IQM within the managed notebook environment. This eliminates the need for local deployment or separate Hybrid Jobs, streamlining hybrid quantum-classical experimentation. CUDA-Q support is available in all Regions where Braket operates.

Amazon Braket local device emulator for verbatim circuits

🔬 Amazon Braket now offers a local device emulator to test verbatim circuits with device-specific constraints and realistic noise models before running on quantum hardware. The emulator validates qubit connectivity, native gate sets, and topology while applying depolarizing channels to one- and two-qubit gates using device calibration data and local density-matrix simulation. It supports both real-time and historical calibration snapshots and can be instantiated from AWS quantum devices or custom device properties via the Amazon Braket SDK, integrating into existing workflows so developers can catch compatibility and performance issues early without incurring hardware costs.
