Hi @WingCode, thanks for the contribution! This qiskit-braket-provider package is designed for using Qiskit as frontend and Braket as backend. Therefore, the user experience is that user would create a Qiskit circuit and Qiskit noise model to run on a Braket backend. Users do not pass Braket noise model from the frontend. So, not only does the Qiskit noise model needs to propagate to the backend, the noise operations or the noise model need to be translated in some way. Because the Braket noise model and the Qiskit noise model does not support the same set of noise operations, some conversion may be needed based on physics.

The issue https://github.com/qiskit-community/qiskit-braket-provider/issues/89 is about support Qiskit noise model with Braket backends in QIskit.

The list of noises that the Braket local density matrix simulator supports can be found here. The definition of Braket noise operations can be found through this mapping.
