Start with $50 of free QPU compute, get results in under a minute, and use the Qiskit and PennyLane tools you already know. Run out? Top up at 50% off — the best price anywhere in the universe.
Whether you are taking a course, working on a thesis, or just learning quantum computing on your own, Open Quantum is the fastest and most affordable way to run on real quantum hardware. Every account starts with $50 of free QPU compute, queue times are regularly under a minute, and you can submit circuits with Qiskit, PennyLane, or raw OpenQASM. If you run out of free credits, additional compute is available at 50% off — so real quantum hardware stays within reach of a student budget.
Sign up and get $50 of free QPU compute immediately. No credit card needed.
Skip the multi-hour free-tier queues. Iterate on real hardware in a single sitting.
Use the tools your course teaches, or upload raw QASM through the web. No lock-in.
Need more compute? Top up at half price — the best price for real QPUs anywhere.
Bring your whole class
In a course, a quantum club, or organizing an event? You can start class funding yourself: tell us about the class and give us your professor's (or another authority's) email. We confirm with them, and every member gets $50 of quantum compute. Any educational institution qualifies, from universities to high schools and trade schools.
