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 file to submit through the portal. You can write your own or grab one from the Sample QASM page.

Other input formats

The portal accepts OpenQASM uploads. Some backends support additional formats through the Python SDK via input_format.

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.
