Braket.ir.ahs.program on amazon/sv1?

Braket

Hi,
I can run braket.ir.ahs.program emulator on my laptop. But after I switched from
device = LocalSimulator(“braket_ahs”)
to
device = AwsDevice(“arn:aws:braket:::device/quantum-simulator/amazon/sv1”)
I got the error:

braket.ahs.discretization_types.DiscretizationError: AwsDevice Device(‘name’: SV1, ‘arn’: arn:aws:braket:::device/quantum-simulator/amazon/sv1) does not accept braket.ir.ahs.program action schema.

Is it a feature or a bug?
Thanks
Jan

Hi @balewski ,

The On-demand simulators provided by Braket (SV1, DM1, and TN1) currently don’t support Analog Hamiltonian Simulation.

If you look at the table “Amazon Braket Devices” found here: Amazon Braket supported devices - Amazon Braket

You’ll see they currently only support gate-based simulation.
