qBraid is a cloud-based quantum computing platform that provides tools for quantum software development, access to quantum hardware, and educational resources. Founded in 2020, the platform enables researchers, developers, and educators to build, test, and execute quantum algorithms across multiple quantum computers and simulators.
History
[edit]qBraid was co-founded in 2020 by Andrea Coladangelo and Kanav Setia, both researchers in quantum information science. The platform was created to simplify quantum software development and infrastructure management for academic and industrial users.[2][3] qBraid was initially incubated at the Black River Innovation Campus in Springfield, Vermont, and later participated in startup accelerators such as MIT delta v and the Duality accelerator at the University of Chicago.[4][5][6]
Platform and Features
[edit]qBraid Lab
[edit]qBraid Lab is a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) for quantum computing. It offers pre-configured environments with popular quantum software frameworks including Qiskit, Cirq, PyQuil, and PennyLane. Users can access quantum hardware from providers such as IBM Quantum, IonQ, Rigetti, and QuEra, as well as simulators from Amazon Braket and other platforms. The platform supports hybrid quantum-classical workflows and includes tools for circuit design, job management, and code sharing.
qBraid SDK
[edit]The qBraid SDK is a platform-agnostic quantum runtime framework developed to manage the full lifecycle of quantum computing tasks. It allows users to write quantum programs once and run them across different quantum hardware and simulators. The SDK features a graph-based transpiler that converts between quantum programming frameworks and formats. It supports program submission, job tracking, and results processing. The SDK is open-source and is available on GitHub.[7][8]
Educational Resources
[edit]qBraid provides online educational content, including beginner-friendly quantum computing courses and tutorials. The QuBes (Quantum Beginners) course, hosted on qBraid qBook, introduces fundamental quantum concepts without requiring a background in physics.[9] The platform also supports academic instructors in building and distributing course materials through the qBraid Course Builder tool.
Collaborations and Partnerships
[edit]In 2024, qBraid was identified as a recommended transition provider following the sunsetting of IBM's Quantum Lab, offering continued access to IBM Qiskit-compatible hardware and tools.[10]
qBraid also serves as the lead organization in a multi-institutional project funded by Wellcome Leap's Q4Bio program, aimed at applying quantum computing to protein-metal interaction modeling. Partners in this project include researchers from MIT, the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory, and QuEra.[11] This project has yielded Quanta-Bind, a platform for simulating metal-protein interactions hypothesized to be an aspect in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.[12][13]
