Notebooks

Jupyter Notebooks (.ipynb files) are a community standard for communicating and performing interactive computing. They are documents that combine live runnable code with narrative text (Markdown), equations (LaTeX), images, interactive visualizations and other rich output.

qBraid Lab provides an interface to create and interact with Jupyter Notebooks, and includes a number of additional key features and integrations to enhance the quantum developer’s experience.

Add/remove kernels

The IPython kernel is the Python execution backend for Jupyter.

Under My Environments, choose the environment, and expand its pannel. Click Activate to activate the environment and create an associated ipykernel.

Once active, click Deactivate to deactivate an environment, and remove its ipykernel from the launcher.

Create notebook

Create a notebook by clicking the + button in the file browser and then selecting a kernel in the new Launcher tab. In the Launcher tab, under Notebooks, clicking on an ipykernel associated with an activated environment will automatically launch a Jupyter notebook (.ipynb file) using that kernel.

Switch notebook kernel

In the upper-right of any open notebook, you can see which kernel is in use.

Clicking on the name of the current kernel, as circled above, will open the kernel selector, and allow you switch to any other active kernel.
