Why people use IBM Quantum
IBM Quantum for Quantum Circuit Execution
With this Connector, your agent takes over the babysitting. You tell the agent what you want to run, and it handles the submission and status checks in the background. You get a clean workflow where the agent only interrupts you when the data is actually ready.
What Vinkius changes
You can run real quantum circuits through your agent without leaving your workspace.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about IBM Quantum.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does the IBM Quantum MCP help my research?
It lets you use your AI agent to handle the tedious parts of quantum research. You can ask it to submit jobs, check statuses, and gather results without having to manually manage the IBM Quantum web console.
Can I use this to run circuits on real hardware?
Yes, this Connector connects your agent directly to IBM's quantum hardware. It allows you to submit circuits for execution on real qubits and get actual results back.
Does the IBM Quantum MCP support multiple backends?
Yes, it allows your agent to see and interact with all the different backends available in your IBM Quantum account, so you can choose the best hardware for your specific circuit.
How do I check if my quantum job is finished?
You can simply ask your agent to check the status of your job. It will use the Connector to look up the job details and tell you if it is still running, completed, or failed.
Can my agent automatically submit jobs for me?
Yes, your agent can take your circuit description and use the Connector to submit it to the hardware, then monitor it until the results are ready for you to review.
Is this Connector for everyone using quantum computing?
It is specifically for those using the IBM Quantum ecosystem. If you are a researcher, student, or developer working with IBM's quantum hardware, this is the right capability for your agent.
