Primitives
The vocabulary of a Braket workflow, and which reference to open for each.
| Primitive | What it is | Related References | Open it when the request involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device | A simulator or QPU, identified by a region-scoped ARN | devices.md | anything about a device: what exists, discovering or filtering the fleet, availability and status (online, offline, retired), which region a device lives in, ARNs, choosing a device for a workload, qubit count, connectivity or topology, native gates, fidelities, calibration data, queue depth, shot and gate limits, paradigm (gate-model vs analog Hamiltonian simulation), whether a device supports program sets, pulse-level control, simulators and local emulators |
| Program | The workload/input — one executable (Circuit, AHS, OpenQASM). Which type is legal depends on the device's paradigm | - | - |
| Quantum task | One program + shots, run once (the atomic unit Braket meters) | - | - |
| Task batch | Many independent tasks — SDK-only fallback for when a program set does not fit; works on all devices | program-sets.md | see the Program set row; also running multiple programs |
| Program set | Many programs in one service-side task — preferred way to run multiple programs instead of task batch | program-sets.md | running more than one program: parameter sweeps, scanning parameter values, task batches, run_batch, several circuits submitted together, attaching observables across programs, and minimizing per-task fees when many programs run, program sets. Also getting started with program sets |
| Hybrid job | Managed classical-quantum loop that orchestrates many tasks | hybrid-job.md | hybrid jobs: @hybrid_job, algorithm scripts and source modules, entry_point, embedded simulators, BYOC and custom container images, CUDA-Q, job execution roles, hyperparameters, checkpoints, and retrieving job results |
| Spending limit | Service-side hard cap that rejects QPU tasks — the only true enforcement (not SDK) | spending-limit.md | capping or enforcing spend: spending limits (create, update, delete, search), and cost guardrails |
| Cost tracking | In-session cost estimate (not enforcement) | spending-limit.md | in-session cost tracking with Tracker |
Each reference carries the domain detail for its own area — field paths, key names, API shapes, and billing models.
