Monitoring Jobs¶
The Jobs page shows every job in your organization regardless of how it was submitted. Jobs created through the Python SDK, Qiskit, PennyLane, or the portal all appear here.
Why This Matters¶
Quantum jobs often run from remote environments — cloud VMs, HPC clusters, or CI pipelines. The portal gives you a single place to monitor everything:
- Check job status from your laptop, phone, or any browser.
- No need to keep your script running to track progress.
- Review and download results days or weeks after a job completes.
Job Status¶
Each job shows its current status:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Created | Job submitted, awaiting credit deduction. |
| Pending | Credits deducted, waiting for dispatch. |
| Queued | Dispatched to the backend, waiting in the execution queue. |
| Running | Circuit is executing on the QPU. |
| Completed | Results are ready to view and download. |
| Failed | Execution failed. Credits are refunded. |
| Canceled | Job was canceled. Credits are refunded. |
See Job Lifecycle for the full breakdown.
Viewing Results¶

Filtering and Search¶
Use the Jobs page to filter by status, backend, or date range. This is helpful when reviewing a batch of experiments or tracking down a specific run.
