Customers can now run CUDA-Q programs directly in Amazon Braket Jupyter notebook instances without additional setup. Braket notebook environments now include the latest compatible packages for Braket, CUDA-Q, PennyLane, and Qiskit. This blog post shows you how to access the Jupyter notebook environment on Amazon Braket to run your CUDA-Q programs.
Creating a new Amazon Braket notebook
When you create a new Amazon Braket notebook instance (NBI), you access the latest Braket kernel. As seen in Figure 1, after opening your Amazon Braket notebook, you will find the new conda_braket tile.
Figure 1: The Braket Notebook Instance displays the conda_braket tile to launch the Braket kernel. Note: The CUDA-Q and Braket tile opened the CUDA-Q example notebooks with the default kernel; starting today, this default kernel is the conda_braket kernel.
Select the conda_braket tile under “Notebook” or “Console”…
