In Amazon Braket, a device represents a QPU or simulator that you can call to run quantum
tasks. Amazon Braket provides access to QPU devices from IonQ, IQM,
QuEra, and Rigetti, three on-demand
simulators, three local simulators, and one embedded simulator. For all devices, you can find
further device properties, such as device topology, calibration data, and native gate sets, on
the Devices tab of the Amazon Braket console or by means of
the GetDevice API. When constructing a circuit with the simulators, Amazon Braket
currently requires that you use contiguous qubits or indices. If you are working with the
Amazon Braket SDK, you have access to device properties as shown in the following code
example.

Quantum tasks that run on a QPU device can be viewed in the Amazon Braket console in the Region of that device. If you are using the Amazon Braket SDK, you can submit quantum tasks to any QPU device, regardless of the Region in which you are working. The SDK automatically creates a session to the Region for the QPU specified.
For general information about how AWS works with Regions and endpoints, see AWS service endpoints in the AWS General Reference.
