Hello, I will try using the latest quantum computer.I used the Aria1 processor on Amazon Braket. It&#39;s the latest ion trap with 25 qubits. Loading the tools. <pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

%matplotlib inline
import string
import time

from braket.circuits import Circuit, Gate, Observable, FreeParameter
from braket.devices import LocalSimulator
from braket.aws import AwsDevice, AwsQuantumTask
</pre> First, let&#39;s start with a simple entangled circuit.<pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">bell = Circuit().h(0).cnot(0, 1)
print(bell)
</pre> I will draw the circuit.<pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">T : |0|1|
 
q0 : -H-C-
 | 
q1 : ---X-

T : |0|1|
</pre> First, I will view the results using a simulator.<pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">device = LocalSimulator()
result = device.run(bell, shots=1000).result()
counts = result.measurement_counts
print(counts)

Counter({&#39;11&#39;: 505, &#39;00&#39;: 495})
</pre> <pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">plt.bar(counts.keys(), counts.values())
plt.xlabel(&#39;bitstrings&#39;)
plt.ylabel(&#39;counts&#39;)
</pre> <img src="https://assets.blueqat.com/public/uploads/us-east-2:4805ff4b-c3cc-4344-b165-86544c34d0bf/2023/10/13/result1.png"/>Next, we will try Aria1 instead of a local simulator<pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">aria = AwsDevice(&#34;arn:aws:braket:us-east-1::device/qpu/ionq/Aria-1&#34;)
aria.queue_depth().quantum_tasks
</pre> we post the job<pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">aria_task = aria.run(bell, shots=1000)
aria_task_id = aria_task.id
aria_status = aria_task.state()
print(&#39;Status of quantum task:&#39;, aria_status)

Status of quantum task: CREATED
</pre> now on amazon braket we can get the queue position<pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">aria_task.queue_position().queue_position
</pre> And once it finished we can get the job result.<pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">task_load_aria = AwsQuantumTask(arn=aria_task_id)

status_aria = task_load_aria.state()
print(&#39;Status of (reconstructed) quantum task:&#39;, status_aria)

if status_aria == &#39;COMPLETED&#39;:
  results = task_load_aria.result()
   
  metadata = task_load_aria.metadata()
  shots = metadata[&#39;shots&#39;]
  machine = metadata[&#39;deviceArn&#39;]
  print(&#34;{} shots taken on machine {}.&#34;.format(shots, machine))
   
  counts = results.measurement_counts
  print(&#39;Measurement counts:&#39;, counts)

  plt.bar(counts.keys(), counts.values())
  plt.xlabel(&#39;bitstrings&#39;)
  plt.ylabel(&#39;counts&#39;)
  plt.tight_layout()
  plt.savefig(&#39;bell_ionq.png&#39;, dpi=700)
   
elif status in [&#39;FAILED&#39;, &#39;CANCELLED&#39;]:
  print(&#39;Your quantum task is in terminal status, but has not completed.&#39;)

else:
  print(&#39;Sorry, your quantum task is still being processed and has not been finalized yet.&#39;)
</pre> After waiting for a while, the results came out. They are roughly the same as the simulator. There are few errors.<pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">Status of (reconstructed) quantum task: COMPLETED
