CUDA-Q contains support for using a set of hardware providers (Amazon Braket, Infleqtion, IonQ, IQM, OQC, ORCA Computing, Quantinuum, and QuEra Computing). For more information about executing quantum kernels on different hardware backends, please take a look at :doc:`hardware <../backends/hardware>`.
The following code illustrates how to run kernels on Amazon Braket's backends.

The following code illustrates how to run kernels on ORCA Computing's backends.
ORCA Computing's PT Series implement the boson sampling model of quantum computation, in which multiple photons are interfered with each other within a network of beam splitters, and photon detectors measure where the photons leave this network.
The following image shows the schematic of a Time Bin Interferometer (TBI) boson sampling experiment that runs on ORCA Computing's backends. A TBI uses optical delay lines with reconfigurable coupling parameters. A TBI can be represented by a circuit diagram, like the one below, where this illustration example corresponds to 4 photons in 8 modes sent into alternating time-bins in a circuit composed of two delay lines in series.
The parameters needed to define the time bin interferometer are the the input state, the loop lengths, beam splitter angles, and optionally the phase shifter angles, and the number of samples. The input state is the initial state of the photons in the time bin interferometer, the left-most entry corresponds to the first mode entering the loop. The loop lengths are the lengths of the different loops in the time bin interferometer. The beam splitter angles and the phase shifter angles are controllable parameters of the time bin interferometer.
This experiment is performed on ORCA's backends by the code below.
