IBM Quantum

IBM offers a variety of quantum devices. With Luna, you can seamlessly access these QPUs — available under our paid plans — to run quantum algorithms on actual quantum hardware.

Running on IBM Hardware

This backend executes circuits on real IBM quantum hardware. An IBM Quantum token and instance are required. Browse available devices and instances on the IBM Quantum Platform and set your target device via backend_name. If backend_name=None, the least busy eligible device is selected automatically.

Using Environment Variables

You can set your IBM API token via environment variables to avoid passing it during initialization:

export LUNA_IBM_TOKEN=your_ibm_token

Initialization

Python

from luna_quantum.solve.parameters.backends.ibm.hardware import IBMQuantum

backend = IBMQuantum(
    backend_type='ibm_quantum',
    backend_name=None,
    dynamical_decoupling={},
    optimization_level=2,
    use_session=False,
    token=None,
    instance=None
)

Usage

Python

from luna_quantum.backends import IBMQuantum

backend = IBMQuantum()
