Guide for IBM Quantum Lab Users on how to migrate their projects and development workflows to qBraid Lab.
With the recent sunsetting of the IBM Quantum Lab, IBM Quantum has identified several vendors—including qBraid—as a preferred
migration solution. This guide provides information on how to migrate all of your files and projects from the IBM Quantum Lab
to qBraid Lab. qBraid streamlines the process for you, meaning that all of your notebooks and files will be able to run the same
way they did on IBM Quantum Lab.
All data will be deleted from IBM Quantum Lab servers on 15 November, 2024.
Make sure that you download everything by then; you can re-upload your
projects onto qBraid Lab.
Click the blue button labeled “Download data (.zip)”. This will download a .zip file containing all of your projects and expand it in your Downloads folder.
When you have logged in, you will see your account page. Click the purple “Launch Lab” button in order to open the
qBraid Lab interface. This will open the qBraid Lab page, from where you can select the first “Free” version to get started.
After all your files are uploaded, you can choose the environment you’d like to run them in. qBraid has a premium pre-installed Python environment
with 135 relevant packages available. There are also customizable Qiskit environments to support the version that your code is written in.
4b. Configure your environment with any version of Qiskit you need.
By searching for “Qiskit” in the Environments tab, you can select the version you need. If you need a version that is not available, you can create
a custom environment by clicking “Create Environment”.
You have successfully migrated your projects from IBM Quantum Lab to qBraid Lab. We are proud to offer comprehensive support for all our users throughout
