Our quantum computing user base spans a spectrum of experience levels, ranging from beginners to experts in quantum computing. The majority of users are affiliated with the University of Chicago. These user groups leverage their quantum computing expertise to explore a diverse range of applications, employing various programming languages, quantum-classical programming techniques, and multiple software environments. Projects undertaken by these users encompass a broad array of applications, including proof-of-principle demonstrations, new method development, and the evaluation of application performance through benchmarking. Currently, the researchers can access two quantum hardware technologies through RCC, IBM Quantum (superconducting qubits) and IonQ Cloud (trapped ion technology).
IBM Quantum
