Local state vector simulator (braket_sv)

The local state vector simulator (braket_sv) is part of the Amazon Braket SDK that runs locally in your environment. It is well-suited for rapid prototyping on small circuits (up to 25 qubits) depending on the hardware specifications of your Braket notebook instance or your local environment.

The local simulator supports all gates in the Amazon Braket SDK, but QPU devices support a smaller subset. You can find the supported gates of a device in the device properties.

Note

The local simulator supports advanced OpenQASM features which may not be supported on QPU devices or other simulators. For more information on supported features, see the examples provided in the OpenQASM Local Simulator notebook.

For more information about how to work with simulators, see the Amazon Braket examples.
