Real Quantum Hardware, at Startup Speed

Zero setup, zero sales calls. Sign up, add a card, and run on real QPUs in minutes — then pick free and discounted Public Compute to iterate, or Private Compute to protect your IP.

Startups do not have time for procurement cycles or sales calls. Open Quantum is fully self-service: create an account, add a card, and submit your first circuit to a real QPU in minutes — no setup, no contracts, no pressure. Start free with $50 of compute and iterate on low-cost Public Compute while you experiment; when you are working on something sensitive, switch to Private Compute to keep your IP confidential. You decide when to optimize for cost and when to pay to protect your work.

Why Startups Choose Open Quantum

Zero Setup

pip install and submit your first circuit in about 60 seconds. No infrastructure to stand up, no onboarding.

Total Self-Service

Add a card and go. No sales calls, no contracts, and no high-pressure process — ever.

Free & Low-Cost Compute

Start with $50 of free compute, then iterate on Public Compute at the best price for real QPU access anywhere.

Protect Your IP

Flip to Private Compute when the work is sensitive — dedicated execution that keeps your circuits and results yours.

Optimize for Cost, or Protect Your IP — Your Call

Switch between the two on a per-job basis. Iterate cheaply in the open, then go private the moment it matters.

Iterate on Public Compute

Free to start and the lowest cost for real QPU access — route jobs through our network while you experiment and iterate.

Protect Your IP with Private Compute

Run sensitive work on dedicated infrastructure. Pay to keep your circuits, data, and results confidential.

Up and Running in Minutes

  • Sign up free and get $50 of compute — no credit card required to start.
  • Add a payment method whenever you are ready to scale. Totally self-service, no sales call.
  • Run on Public Compute to iterate cheaply on real QPUs from IonQ, Rigetti, IQM, and AQT.
  • Switch to Private Compute for anything IP-sensitive — and back again — your call, per job.
