The qBraid Lab GPU server provides access to an NVIDIA V100 GPU, and is tailored for researchers and developers requiring enhanced computational capabilities. This high-performance Lab instance allows users to leverage GPU accelerated circuit simulation, to explore quantum machine learning applications with GPU-enabled quantum gradients, and more. For exclusive early access, join our pre-launch waitlist.
The GPU Lab image comes pre-configured with the NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK GPU simulator library, and includes GPU integrations with other popular quantum software packages including Pennylane.
Launch GPU instance
Use the drop-down at the top of your account page to select the GPU Lab image, and then click Launch Lab. At the moment, the GPU Lab instance is in beta, so is restricted to users who have been granted early access (see pre-launch waitlist). For enterprises and organizations seeking early access, or for other individual inquiries, feel free to contact us directly.

Setup Pennylane Lightning GPU environment
PennyLane is a cross-platform Python library for quantum machine learning, automatic differentiation, and optimization of hybrid quantum-classical computations. The PennyLane-Lightning-GPU plugin extends the Pennylane-Lightning state-vector simulator written in C++, and offloads to the NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK for GPU accelerated circuit simulation.
The lightning.gpu device is an extension of PennyLane’s built-in lightning.qubit device. It extends the CPU-focused Lightning simulator to run using the NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK, enabling GPU-accelerated simulation of quantum state-vector evolution. Install the environment on qBraid Lab.
Launch demo notebook
Navigate to the qbraid-lab-demos GitHub repository, and click the Launch on Lab button to clone repository into qBraid Lab account. The repository is now cloned into your qBraid files.
Benchmarking circuit evaluation
From the files in the left sidebar, double-click qbraid_lab > gpu > lightning_gpu_benchmark.ipynbto open the example notebook. Make sure your kernel is set to Python 3 [Lightning], see Switch notebook kernel.
In this notebook, we compare the execution time for the remote Braket SV1 device and the Pennylane lighting.gpu device. Our first step is to create a simple circuit:

The Bloch develops quantum technology solutions for society’s most pressing problems by accelerating industry adoption to drive research commercialization, catapulting US leadership in quantum information science and technology.
As an early adopter of the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip systems, qBraid provides unparalleled access to today’s most advanced computing technologies.
Discover how quantum computing is revolutionizing enterprises, from enhancing cybersecurity with quantum encryption to optimizing complex logistics and supply chain operations.
From October 21st to November 5th of 2022, qBraid hosted HAQS, one of the most popular quantum computing events of the year, where participants from around the world worked on solving a total of five quantum computing challenges during the two weeks of the event.
At this year's QCHack, participants attended a week filled with amazing talks, 1:1 sessions with academic and industry mentors, and a 24 hour hackathon hosted by Stanford, Yale and Berkeley.
The potential of the field of quantum computing is so huge that everyone in the field cannot wait for all the promises that the field holds to become a reality.
Learn how classical sampling methods, such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo, can estimate truncation errors in simulating bosons on quantum computers, aiding resource assessment and result validation for quantum simulations, including applications in two-dimensional lattice scalar field theory.
The Bloch develops quantum technology solutions for society’s most pressing problems by accelerating industry adoption to drive research commercialization, catapulting US leadership in quantum information science and technology.
qBraid will lead a team of researchers from MIT, UChicago, Argonne National Laboratory, and QuEra to develop quantum computing solutions for studying the interaction of metals and intrinsically disordered proteins.
