      ProgramSet, or Analog Hamiltonian Simulation program to a target QPU or simulator device with a chosen shot count;
      result files are written to a customer S3 location.

      against remaining budget (spending limit minus current and queued spend) and reject submissions whose estimated
      cost would exceed the cap. Applies to on-demand and hybrid-job QPU tasks only.

  Amazon Braket is AWS's fully managed quantum computing service. It provides a unified API and SDK for exploring,
  designing, simulating, and running quantum algorithms across a single point of access to multiple third-party QPU
  technologies (trapped-ion, superconducting, neutral-atom) and AWS-managed cloud simulators. Braket handles device
  queueing, S3-backed result delivery, IAM, hybrid quantum-classical job orchestration, Braket Direct reservations, and
  opt-in spending limits, with native PennyLane, Qiskit, and OpenQASM 3 support.
