With new support in Azure Quantum for major quantum Python SDKs, developers can directly submit quantum circuits built with <a href=\"https:\/\/qiskit.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Qiskit<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/quantumai.google\/cirq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cirq<\/a>. You can use familiar tools and leverage your existing development investment to explore quantum hardware in Azure Quantum.<\/p>\n<p>We designed an integration API following patterns that are familiar to Qiskit and Cirq developers. You can send your quantum circuits written with Qiskit or Cirq to Azure Quantum hardware partners like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.honeywell.com\/us\/en\/company\/quantum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Honeywell Quantum Solutions<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ionq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IonQ<\/a>. Here is an example of running existing Qiskit and Cirq circuits on IonQ quantum hardware in Azure Quantum:<\/p>\n<h2>Qiskit<\/h2>\n<pre><strong>To install:<\/strong> pip install azure-quantum[qiskit]<\/pre>\n<pre>from azure.quantum.qiskit import AzureQuantumProvider<em>\u00a0\r\n\r\n<\/em><em># Enter your Azure Quantum workspace details here<\/em>\r\nprovider = AzureQuantumProvider(resource_id=\"\", location=\"\")\r\n\r\nbackend = provider.get_backend(\"ionq.qpu\")\r\njob = backend.run(your_qiskit_circuit, shots=1000)\r\nresult = job.result()<\/pre>\n<p>\u201c<em>This integration with Azure Quantum and its partners is another step in the move towards interoperability across the quantum industry<\/em>,\u201d said Blake Johnson, Quantum Platform Lead, IBM Quantum. \u201c<em>As quantum computing grows more powerful, interoperability will be crucial to helping developers build and deploy quantum algorithms without friction<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Cirq<\/h2>\n<pre><strong>To install:<\/strong> pip install azure-quantum[cirq]<\/pre>\n<pre>import azure.quantum.cirq\u00a0as aq\r\n\r\n<em># Enter your Azure Quantum workspace details here<\/em>\r\nservice = aq.AzureQuantumService(resource_id=\"\", location=\"\")\r\njob = service.run(your_cirq_circuit, repetitions=1000, target=\"ionq.qpu\")\r\n\r\nresults = job.results()<\/pre>\n<p>\u201c<em>It\u2019s great to see the adoption of Cirq following the spirit of the Apache 2.0 open-source license and making further hardware platforms accessible to the global Cirq developer community.<\/em>&#8221; explains Dr. Markus Hoffmann, Quantum Partnerships at Google Quantum AI.<\/p>\n<p>You can also directly send circuits in the native format supported by our partners\u2019 hardware, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.ionq.com\/#section\/JSON-Specification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IonQ JSON specification<\/a>. This modular approach makes it easy to write your own Python integration with the Azure Quantum service.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also excited that, through a continued collaboration with Microsoft, the <a href=\"https:\/\/strangeworks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strangeworks<\/a> quantum computing platform will enable users to either connect to their existing Azure Quantum workspaces or use the Strangeworks direct integration to submit jobs to Azure Quantum using Qiskit, Cirq, Q#, and Python.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We at Strangeworks are very excited by Azure Quantum\u2019s efforts to extend their unique quantum services to the Python community. Developers working with Azure Quantum now have unprecedented optionality to work in both Q# and Python, and to leverage the strengths across many frameworks, including Qiskit and Cirq, within the Quantum Development Kit<\/em>,\u201d said Justin Youens, Founder and CTO of Strangeworks. \u201c<em>These latest enhancements strengthen our ongoing collaboration with Azure Quantum. Combined with their generous community credit program, Azure Quantum is a prime partner for quantum exploration<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With these new capabilities in Azure Quantum, you can bring, reuse, and submit your existing Qiskit and Cirq source code with little to no change, and at the same time develop and submit quantum programs using <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/quantum\/user-guide\/programs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Q#<\/a>.
