["General"]
["Which quantum algorithms or use cases are you planning to implement (e.g., optimization, simulation, machine learning)?",null,"All of the mentioned alorithms, and all algorithms that can be implemented. For this purpose, we are interested in the lowest available error rates.   "]
[]
[]
["Quantum Task Requirements"]
["Which quantum hardware provider are you considering (e.g., D-Wave, IonQ, Rigetti)?",null,"All hardware providers that offer quantum circuit architectures and satisfy the minimal requirements. The offer of additional architectures is an advantage."]
["How many quantum tasks do you plan to run, and what is the expected complexity of these tasks?",null," This is  specified in the attached spreadsheet. "]
["Do you require high precision or specific qubit requirements (e.g., number of qubits, gate fidelity)?","Specified in the Technical Requirements","The quantum volume, and the error rates score as specified in the evaluation matrix.  "]
[]
["Simulator Usage"]
["Do you plan to use classical simulators (e.g., SV1, TN1, DM1) to test quantum circuits before running them on actual hardware?",null,"As specified in the attached spreadsheet. "]
["How many shots (executions) do you expect to run on simulators versus on quantum hardware?",null,"The estimate is 3 to 2. However, we plan to run more simulations on our own computer networks. "]
[]
[" Data Storage and Transfer"]
["How much data do you expect to generate and store as part of your quantum computing tasks?",null,"This is difficult to estimate at this point."]
["Will you be storing data and if so, for how long and at what frequency will you access it?","Assume storage"]
["Do you anticipate significant data transfer out of Cloud services, and if so, how much?",null,"Not yet clear."]
[]
["Development and Testing Environment"]
["Will you be using Amazon Braket Notebooks for development?","Specified in the Technical Requirements","In general Python notebooks are used by students.  Should AWS become the recommended supplier, Amazon Bracket Notebooks are likely to be used."]
["What instance types are you considering for your development environment (e.g., small, medium, large instances)?",null,"This might vary and is not clear yet."]
["How long do you expect to use these notebook instances on a daily/weekly basis?",null,"This is not clear yet. "]
[]
["Integration with Other AWS Services"]
["Do you plan to integrate Amazon Braket with other AWS services (e.g., S3 for storage, CloudWatch for logging, EC2 for additional compute resources)?","Specified in the Technical Requirements","This is not clear yet. The service will primarily be used by Universities students, and basic requirements are access quantum computing and learning resources. Storage may be used, however, it is unlikely that additional services will be required at this point in time."]
[]
["Expected Usage Volume"]
["What is the expected volume of quantum tasks per day/week/month?",null,"See attached spreadsheet"]
["Is there an expected ramp-up period where usage might start small and increase over time?",null,"A sharp ramp-up is not expected.  However, it is expected that Researchers will increase their usage of  quantum computers overtime. "]
["Do you anticipate needing to scale up or down your usage significantly during certain periods?",null,"Not expected at this stage."]
[]
[" Budget Constraints and Cost Sensitivity"]
["How critical is cost optimization to your project? Are there areas where you'd be willing to compromise on performance to save on costs?",null,"See evaluation matrix. Quantum computing students may not need full performance.  However there are Researchers using the system who may need the performance."]
[]
["Support and Maintenance Needs"]
["Do you require ongoing support, consulting, or training for your quantum computing team?",null,"See evaluation matrix. "]
["Are you looking for managed services or hands-on guidance from experts?",null,"Hands on guidance from experts is preferred. "]

["With Amazon Braket, there are no upfront charges, and you pay only for the AWS resources you use. Amazon Braket provides on-demand and dedicated access to quantum computers, quantum circuit simulators, fully managed execution of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, and Jupyter notebook development environments."]
