+"""
+Update README.md with recent arXiv preprints that mention Amazon Braket.
+
+Purpose:
+    This script queries the arXiv API for papers from the past 12 months that
+    mention "Amazon Braket" anywhere in the metadata (title, abstract, or comments),
+    and updates a markdown table in README.md.
+
+Usage:
+    python bin/update_braket_papers.py
+
+Requirements:
+    - Existing project dependencies: requests, feedparser
+    - README.md should contain markers:
+        <!-- PAPER_START -->
+        <!-- PAPER_END -->
+      If markers are not present, the section will be appended automatically.
+
+Behavior:
+    - Searches arXiv
+    - Filters papers to the past 12 months
+    - Includes papers mentioning "Braket" anywhere in title, abstract, or comments
+    - Outputs a markdown table ordered as:
+        Year | Month | Title | Authors | Link
+    - Link text is formatted as: arXiv:XXXX.XXXXX
