Thanks @josh146 and @antalszava. I've updated the text and heading you commented on. Do you think "Hardware and cloud" works better as a main heading?

it seems like introduction/circuits.rst is also written with having a remote hardware target in mind

I think this part looks fine as it is. It already mentions "remote simulators/hardware" in the "Simulating your program" section, and the other mentions of remote access mainly discusses hardware and hardware compilation, so I think it's fine not mentioning simulators there.

Let me know if you disagree. 🙂
