The OpenQuantum integration lets you run quantum jobs on OpenQuantum devices through qBraid, paid for with your own OpenQuantum credits. OpenQuantum devices can only be billed to OpenQuantum credits, so you need to connect your OpenQuantum account before you can run jobs on them. You manage the connection from the Integrations tile on your Profile page.
