Quickstart

Ready to submit some quantum circuits? Here’s everything you need to get started:

1

Get an IonQ account

Sign up for a free IonQ Quantum Cloud account to create and manage API keys, track job results, manage users, and allocate quotas. You’ll also get access to IonQ’s simulators (supporting up to 29 qubits) and IonQ Aria noise model simulators.

» Sign up for free

2

Create an API key

Once you have an account, you’ll be able to create an API key that can be used with SDKs or directly with our API to submit quantum programs, check on their job status, and retrieve the results once they’ve completed.

» Learn how to create keys

3

Run your first job

If you are new to quantum computing, we recommend you start by submitting your first job via Qiskit—it’s easy to use, has a strong user community, and supports the majority of functionality that IonQ’s systems offer. We’ve written a guide that takes you step by step through installing it and submitting your first quantum circuit to our simulator.

» Learn how to use Qiskit

4

Keep learning

Running your first circuit is only the first step. Explore our other learning resources to learn about the state of the art in quantum computing, dive in to understand complex quantum techniques, and read case studies to see how other industry leaders are leveraging these new tools.
