The QX single-node simulator backendΒΆ

The 'quantuminspire.qi' device hosts a QX Emulator instance on the a commodity cloud-based server, with 4GB RAM. It has a fast turn-around time for simulations up to 26 qubits. For basic users, the commodity cloud-based server will be sufficient:

import pennylane as qml
dev = qml.device('quantuminspire.qi', wires=10, backend='QX single-node simulator')

Note

Choosing an emulator instance depends largely on the number of qubits that need to be simulated. Larger jobs require more resources. More resources means longer wait times to acquire the required resources.

  • Waiting time: seconds to minutes

  • Maximum number of qubits: 26
