It implements two simulation backends\u2014StateVectorSimulator and DensityMatrixSimulator\u2014that you can use to test and debug quantum circuits before submitting them to the Amazon Braket cloud service. The simulator accepts quantum circuits defined using the Braket SDK and returns measurement results, allowing rapid iteration on quantum algorithm development without incurring cloud execution costs.\n\nThe package depends on numerical libraries (numba, numpy, scipy, sympy) and opt_einsum for efficient tensor operations. It is actively maintained, supports current Python versions (3.11, 3.12, 3.13), and carries no known security vulnerabilities. Installation is straightforward via pip, though you must have the Amazon Braket SDK installed separately to use it.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing quantum programs with Amazon Braket. The simulator is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and provides essential local testing before cloud submission. Install it alongside the Amazon Braket SDK as part of your quantum development workflow. Not relevant for non-Braket quantum work."},"id":"amazon-braket-default-simulator","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/amazon-braket-default-simulator","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/amazon-braket-default-simulator.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/amazon-braket-default-simulator/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"amazon-braket-default-simulator","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An open source quantum program simulator to be run locally with the Amazon Braket SDK"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":160291,"position":10666,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.40.0"}
