Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

AwsDevice

✓ from braket.aws import AwsDevice

✗ from braket.devices import AwsDevice

AwsDevice is in braket.aws, not braket.devices.

Circuit

✓ from braket.circuits import Circuit

BraketSDK

✓ from braket import BraketSDK

✗ import braket

Direct import of braket does not expose SDK class; use BraketSDK for session management.

Runs a Bell state circuit on IonQ Harmony device using AWS credentials from environment or session.

from braket.aws import AwsDevice from braket.circuits import Circuit from braket import BraketSDK sdk = BraketSDK() device = AwsDevice("arn:aws:braket:us-west-1::device/qpu/ionq/Harmony") bell = Circuit().h(0).cnot(0, 1) task = device.run(bell, shots=100) print(task.result().measurement_counts)

Debug

Known issues

breakingPickle deserialization disabled by default (v1.117.0). Loading pickled tasks/circuits from untrusted sources will fail unless explicitly opt-in.

fix

Use braket.aws.aws_session.AwsSession with allow_pickle=True or deserialize with the appropriate safeguard.

affects: >=1.117.0

deprecatedRigetti Ankaa-3 retired in v1.116.0. Code using that device ARN will fail.

fix

Update device ARN to Rigetti Cepheus1108Q or other supported device.

affects: >=1.116.0

gotchaDevice ARN changes without deprecation notice. Example: Rigetti Cepheus1 renamed to Cepheus1108Q in v1.115.0.

fix

Always check latest device ARNs from AWS documentation or AwsDevice.get_device_region_map().

affects: >=1.115.0

gotchaBarrier targets must include at least one qubit; qubit 0 is now valid (v1.111.1). Previously barrier with no targets would print a warning.

fix

Always specify qubit indices in Barrier().

affects: >=1.111.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'braket' has no attribute 'aws'

Incomplete installation or wrong import path. braket.aws is a subpackage that must be installed separately? No, it's part of SDK but may not be imported if not properly installed.

fix

Run 'pip install amazon-braket-sdk' again, or use 'from braket.aws import AwsDevice' directly.

botocore.exceptions.NoCredentialsError: Unable to locate credentials

AWS credentials not configured. Braket SDK requires valid AWS credentials.

fix

Configure AWS CLI with 'aws configure' or set environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.

ValueError: The device 'arn:aws:braket:us-west-1::device/qpu/rigetti/Ankaa-3' is not available.

Device retired or ARN outdated. Ankaa-3 was retired in v1.116.0.

fix

Use a current device ARN, e.g., 'arn:aws:braket:us-west-1::device/qpu/rigetti/Cepheus1108Q'.
