Quantum computing
should be for everyone.
Open Quantum is a platform operated by Quantum Rings that connects developers and researchers to real quantum hardware through a single API. No vendor lock-in, no complex setup.
What We Do
We believe the gap between learning about quantum computing and actually using it is too wide. Open Quantum closes that gap.
Real hardware, one API
Submit OpenQASM circuits to trapped-ion and superconducting processors from IonQ, Rigetti, IQM, and AQT — all through a unified Python SDK or directly from the web portal.
Free to start
Every account receives $50 in Spark Credits, refreshed every 90 days. No credit card required. The same hardware available on paid tiers is available on the free tier.
Built for integration
Install the SDK with pip install openquantum-sdk and integrate into your existing workflow. Works with Qiskit, PennyLane, and any framework that outputs OpenQASM.
Transparent pricing
Per-shot pricing with no hidden fees. See exactly what each circuit will cost before you run it. Scale from free-tier experimentation to production workloads on your terms.
Why It Matters
Right now, most of the world's quantum computers sit behind lengthy procurement processes, vendor-specific toolchains, and price tags that put them out of reach for students, independent researchers, and small teams.
That means the people most likely to discover what quantum computing is actually good for — curious, resourceful people with fresh ideas — are often the last to get access.
We think that's worth fixing.
The Hardware
These are the quantum computers you can access today through Open Quantum.
Built by Quantum Rings
Open Quantum is operated by Quantum Rings. Our free tier is made possible through a partnership with qBitTensor Labs and Bittensor Subnet 48, which connects a decentralized network of contributors to help subsidize access to real quantum hardware.
For Researchers
If you use results from Open Quantum in academic or technical work, we ask that you provide appropriate citation. We've published a white paper covering the platform architecture and design.
