Learn the foundations of quantum computing with AWS! Enroll in the Amazon Braket Digital Learning Plan and earn your own Digital badge after completing a series of learning courses and a digital assessment.

You can enable Amazon Braket in your account through the AWS console.

Prerequisites

To enable and run Amazon Braket, you must have a user or role with permission to initiate Amazon Braket actions. These permissions are included in the AmazonBraketFullAccess IAM policy (arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonBraketFullAccess).

Note

If you are an administrator:

To give other users access to Amazon Braket, grant users permissions by attaching the AmazonBraketFullAccess policy or by attaching a custom policy that you create. To learn more about the permissions necessary to use Amazon Braket, see Managing access to Amazon Braket .

Steps to enable Amazon Braket

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Braket console with your AWS account.

  2. Open the Amazon Braket console.

  3. From the Braket landing page, click Get Started to be taken to the Service Dashboard page. The alert at the top of your service dashboard will walk you through the following three steps:

    1. Creating service-linked roles (SLR)

    2. Enabling access to third-party quantum computers

    3. Creating a new Jupyter notebook instance

In order to use third-party quantum devices, you need to agree to certain conditions regarding data transfer between yourself, AWS, and those devices. The terms and conditions of this agreement are provided on the General tab of the Permissions and settings page in the Amazon Braket console.

Note

Quantum devices that don’t involve any third-parties, such as the Braket local simulators or on-demand simulators, can be used without agreeing to the Enable third-party devices agreement.

Accepting these terms to enable use of third-party devices only needs to be done once per account if you are accessing third-party hardware.
