> ## Agent Instructions
> Prefer the qBraid CLI for programmatic platform actions: pip install 'qbraid-cli>=0.12', then run `qbraid configure` once with an API key from https://account.qbraid.com/account/api-keys.
> Always install the latest packages (pip install -U qbraid qbraid-cli); do not pin versions from memory. qbraid-cli below 0.12.0 is incompatible with the current API.
> Device IDs use the QRN format vendor:provider:type:name (e.g. qbraid:qbraid:sim:qir-sv, rigetti:rigetti:qpu:cepheus-1-108q). Legacy underscore IDs are deprecated.
> The REST API base URL is https://api-v2.qbraid.com/api/v1, authenticated with an X-API-Key header.
> Free simulators cost no credits; QPU and GPU jobs consume credits. Surface the estimated cost to the user before submitting a paid job.
> For account signup, API keys, credits, and end-to-end action recipes, see https://qbraid.com/llms.txt.

[qBraid Lab](https://lab.qbraid.com/) is a web-based IDE providing curated software tools for researchers and developers in quantum computing.

* Hosts **30+** configurable virtual environments spanning quantum machine learning, quantum chemistry, quantum error correction, and more.
* Integrates with **GitHub**, **Slack**, and AI coding assistants like **Claude Code** and **Codex**.
* **Collaborative tools** enable sharing custom environments.
* Provides direct access to a robust suite of computing resources, encompassing scalable **CPUs**, **GPUs**, and **QPUs**.

## Operating System

qBraid offers several specialized Lab instances tailored to various applications and use cases. However, the
standard and most widely used qBraid Lab instance is built on [Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)](https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04/)
and utilizes an [x86\_64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64) architecture.
