An appropriate QAM is automatically created when using :py~pyquil.get_qc and it is stored on the :py~pyquil.api.QuantumComputer object as the qam attribute.
The Quantum Abstract Machine (QAM) provides an abstract interface for running hybrid quantum/classical quil programs on either a Quantum Virtual Machine (QVM, a classical simulator) or a Quantum Processor Unit (QPU, a real quantum device).
