# OpenQuantum

> Connect your OpenQuantum account to qBraid to run quantum jobs on your own OpenQuantum credits.

The OpenQuantum integration lets you run quantum jobs on OpenQuantum devices through qBraid, paid for with your own [OpenQuantum](https://www.openquantum.com/) 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](https://account.qbraid.com/account/profile).

</Frame>

<Note>
  You need an [OpenQuantum](https://www.openquantum.com/) account before you can
  connect. It doesn't have to match the email you use for qBraid, any
  OpenQuantum account works.
</Note>

## Create your OpenQuantum account

Set up OpenQuantum first, so the account exists when you connect it to qBraid.

  <Step title="Go to OpenQuantum">
    Open [openquantum.com](https://www.openquantum.com/).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an account">
    Sign up for an OpenQuantum account. Google sign-in is supported.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finish sign-up">

  </Step>
</Steps>

    Profile**.

## Confirm the connection

Back on the Profile page, the **Open Quantum** entry now shows a green
**Connected** dot along with the account you're connected as. That's it, jobs
submitted to OpenQuantum devices will now run on your OpenQuantum credits.

  </Frame>
</div>

## Disconnect OpenQuantum

To end the integration, open the **Integrations** tile and click **Disconnect**
next to **Open Quantum**. Once disconnected, you can no longer run jobs on
OpenQuantum devices until you connect again, since those jobs can only be paid
for with your OpenQuantum credits.
