Setup & Install

The Quantum Rings SDK lets you execute quantum circuits using Python, locally or from notebooks. Most users can be up and running in minutes.

Before you begin

You will need:

Choose your install path

  • CPU-only (recommended to start) Use this if you do not have an NVIDIA GPU, or if you want the simplest install first. → Install (CPU-only)

  • GPU-enabled (NVIDIA) Use this if you have a supported NVIDIA GPU (Ampere/Hopper/Blackwell) with the required CUDA runtime. → Install (GPU-enabled)

  • Notebook / Google Colab Use this if you prefer an interactive notebook environment. → Notebooks

Optional integrations

  • Qiskit integration Run Qiskit circuits on the Quantum Rings SDK using the Quantum Rings toolkit for Qiskit. → Toolkit for Qiskit

  • CUDA-Q Install and use the SDK with the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform. → Install CUDA-Q
