IBM Quantum Account - qiskit-community/qgss-2025 GitHub Wiki

We will be using the upgraded IBM Quantum Platform on IBM Cloud for the labs exercises grading and submissions. If you haven’t yet migrated, please follow this migration guide to register an account on the new platform.

For the Qiskit Global Summer School (QGSS), please create an instance using the Open Plan, which includes 10 minutes of free QPU time per month.

Note: Creating a new account currently requires a credit card for verification purposes. However, to avoid any charges while participating in QGSS, be sure to select the Open Plan, which offers limited free usage.

QPU-based exercises are optional—completing them is not required to finish the labs or earn the QGSS badge.

We are actively working on launching a 30-day free trial that will not require a credit card. More information will be shared during the week of July 1st. Please check this page again for updates—you’ll also receive an email notification once the new registration option is available.
