Amazon Braket notebook instances now support CUDA-Q natively

Amazon Braket notebook instances now come with native support for CUDA-Q, streamlining access to NVIDIA's quantum computing platform for hybrid quantum-classical applications. This enhancement is enabled by upgrading the underlying operating system to Amazon Linux 2023, which delivers improved performance, security, and compatibility for quantum development workflows.

Quantum researchers and developers can now seamlessly build and test hybrid quantum-classical algorithms using CUDA-Q's GPU-accelerated quantum circuit simulation alongside access to quantum processing units (QPUs) from IonQ, Rigetti, and IQM, all within a single managed environment. With this release, developers can now access CUDA-Q directly within the managed notebook environment, simplifying workflows that previously required local deployment or needed to be run via Hybrid Jobs.

CUDA-Q support in Amazon Braket notebook instances is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Braket is available. To get started, see the Amazon Braket Developer Guide and visit the Amazon Braket product page to learn more about quantum computing on AWS.
