How-to: access AWS Braket devices

In order to get access to AWS Braket devices through Qiskit you need to import AWSBraketProvider provider.

Provider gives you access to Braket backends.

from pprint import pprint

from qiskit_braket_provider import AWSBraketProvider

provider = AWSBraketProvider()
