description: Amazon Braket is AWS's fully managed quantum computing service. It provides a unified API and SDK for
  exploring, designing, simulating, and running quantum algorithms across a single point of access to multiple
  third-party QPU technologies (trapped-ion, superconducting, neutral-atom) and AWS-managed cloud simulators.
  Braket handles device queueing, S3-backed result delivery, IAM, hybrid quantum-classical job orchestration,
  Braket Direct reservations, and opt-in spending limits, with native PennyLane, Qiskit, and OpenQASM 3 support.
