qBraid, a leading cloud-based platform for quantum computing and a member of the IBM Quantum Network, is now one of IBM’s recommended notebook environment solutions for users of the IBM Quantum Lab, which was discontinued on May 15, 2024. qBraid offers pre-configured Python environments and access to diverse quantum computers. Users can also design quantum circuits using the open-source qBraid SDK. Kanav Setia, CEO of qBraid, aims to accelerate the adoption of quantum computing in the enterprise world. Jay Gambetta, IBM Quantum Vice President, recognizes qBraid as a high-quality option for former IBM Quantum Lab users.
qBraid: A New Home for IBM Quantum Lab Users
In the wake of the IBM Quantum Lab’s closure on May 15, 2024, qBraid, a cloud-based platform for quantum computing and a member of the IBM Quantum Network, has emerged as a recommended notebook environment solution for former IBM Quantum Lab users. qBraid’s platform offers a seamless transition for these users, providing proprietary, pre-configured Python environments that automate cloud setup and facilitate access to a variety of quantum computers.
Users with existing code in older versions of Qiskit, a software development kit for quantum computing, can effortlessly run notebooks with versioned Qiskit environments on qBraid. The platform also supports the open-source qBraid SDK, which allows users to design quantum circuits in Qiskit, Cirq, Amazon Braket, PyQuil, and Pytket, enabling backend-agnostic execution.
Enhanced Coding Experience with qBraid Lab
qBraid Lab, a component of the qBraid platform, offers a fluid coding experience enriched with AI-powered omnisearch, code snippets, collaborative features, and documentation, all directly accessible from the user’s notebook. This feature set is designed to empower users to navigate the rapidly evolving quantum landscape with ease and efficiency.
The Lab also provides the same features for educators that IBM Quantum Lab provided. Along with notebooks developed by IBM Quantum education experts, qBraid’s in-house course development platform empowers educators to further broaden their impact.
qBraid’s Mission and Vision
Kanav Setia, CEO and Co-Founder of qBraid, emphasizes the company’s mission to accelerate the adoption of quantum computing in the enterprise world by providing seamless access to quantum computers and quantum software. The company is committed to providing the best experience to former IBM Quantum Lab users.
Jay Gambetta, IBM Fellow and IBM Quantum Vice President, also acknowledges the crucial role of cloud-based coding environments in the wider quantum software ecosystem, particularly as the sector undertakes the important work of algorithm discovery. He recognizes qBraid as a high-quality option for any former users of IBM Quantum Lab seeking to continue their work in a Qiskit-friendly environment.
Empowering the Quantum Ecosystem
qBraid is poised to further empower the quantum ecosystem with an exceptional coding experience. The platform is designed to support the important work of algorithm discovery and to facilitate the exploration of quantum computing applications, including tangible financial optimization and quantum machine learning.
