Amazon Braket, is a fully managed service that makes it easy for customers to get started with quantum computing. Starting today, customers can have real-time visibility into device queue lengths and the individual queue positions for their Quantum Tasks and Hybrid Jobs, providing greater transparency into when their workloads will run.

In today’s experimental era, quantum processing units (QPUs) are scarce resources. Amazon Braket provides customers access to QPUs and managed simulators through on-demand, shared queues, with high priority access for variational workloads submitted as Hybrid Jobs. Prior to this launch, customers did not have visibility into how many Quantum Tasks or Hybrid Jobs were ahead of their submitted workloads. Now, customers can determine device-specific queue lengths and the queue position of their Quantum Tasks and Hybrid Jobs for the QPUs and simulators they wish to use, enabling them to choose devices with shorter queues for their research, and gain insight into the run times for their workloads. 

Queue visibility is accessible to customers via the Braket Management Console and programmatically through the Braket Software Development Kit in all regions where Amazon Braket is available. To get started, refer to our queue visibility documentation.
