# Amazon Braket

> Amazon Braket is a fully managed quantum computing service that helps researchers and developers explore and build quantum algorithms, test them on quantum circuit simulators, and run them on different quantum hardware technologies. Braket provides access to multiple quantum processors from IonQ, Rigetti, QuEra, Oxford Quantum Circuits, and IQM, plus high-performance simulators, and supports hybrid quantum-classical algorithms through Braket Hybrid Jobs.
