Submitting Jobs

You can submit quantum circuits directly through the Open Quantum Portal — no SDK or Python required. This is useful for quickly evaluating the platform, running one-off experiments, or for users who prefer a visual interface over writing code.

For production workflows and programmatic access, use the Python SDK or one of the framework plugins (Qiskit, PennyLane).

Prepare a QASM File

You need an OpenQASM 2.0 file to submit. You can write your own or grab one from the Sample QASM page.

Here's a minimal Bell state circuit you can save as bell.qasm:

OPENQASM 2.0;
include "qelib1.inc";
qreg q[2];
creg c[2];
h q[0];
cx q[0],q[1];
measure q[0] -> c[0];
measure q[1] -> c[1];

Tip

The Sample QASM page has ready-to-download circuits for teleportation, Grover's search, QFT, error correction, and more.
