Amazon Braket Releases a New Simulator to Help Model Noise in Quantum Hardware

The new simulator, called DM1, is a specially designed quantum simulator based upon density matrices that can be used to model noise in quantum hardware. It supplements two other simulators that Amazon previously had available, the SV1 state vector simulator and the TN1 high performance tensor network simulator for structured quantum circuits. A simulator that can model noise can be very helpful for incorporating noise mitigation techniques in a quantum program so one can get more accurate results when running the program on a real quantum computer. The DM1 can simulate circuits with up to 17 qubits and run up to 35 simulations in parallel. Additional information on this new simulator is available in a blog post posted on the Amazon AWS website here.
