An easy quantum circuit runner

Paste a circuit. See the cost. Simulate first. Run when ready.

QRoute is a workflow layer that makes quantum computing easier to use. It helps users check whether a circuit can run, estimate cost before execution, compare provider options, and receive a clear result report.

Problem

Quantum access exists, but running jobs is still confusing.

Too many choices

Users must compare providers, hardware types, SDKs, plan limits, and pricing models before they can run anything.

Unclear pricing

Quantum jobs can include task fees, shot fees, runtime fees, reservations, and credits. Users need the price before submitting.

Wasted runs

Without simulation and circuit checks, beginners can spend money on jobs that are incompatible, too noisy, or hard to interpret.

Hard results

Many users can run an experiment but still struggle to understand what the output means or what to try next.

Product

One guided workflow from circuit to report.

1

Paste

Paste or build a circuit using OpenQASM, templates, or supported SDK formats.

2

Check

QRoute checks qubits, gates, depth, shots, compatibility, and noise risk.

3

Price

Estimate cost before execution using provider fees, shots, runtime, and credits.

4

Simulate

Run a simulator first so users can catch mistakes before paying for hardware.

Quantum experiment

Submit a starter circuit through a simulator or quantum provider.

Use a simulator first, then switch the backend when you are ready. The circuit field accepts a Python list of IonQ QIS gate dictionaries, so you can edit experiments without changing the site code.

Tap any gate to add it to the circuit box.

This is a simple Bell circuit that will output 50% 00 and 50% 11. This note disappears after you modify the circuit.
I understand IonQ quantum computer jobs can use real credits, may take longer, and require this QPU target to be enabled in IonQ Project Settings.

Rigetti simulator

Best for quick local testing with consistent ideal results. It does not need an API key and does not contact Rigetti cloud.

Local ideal simulator

IonQ simulator

Best for testing the same IonQ API path you will later use for IonQ hardware.

IonQ cloud path

IonQ quantum computer

Best for real hardware experiments after IonQ enables the QPU target for your project. It can use credits and may take longer.

Real hardware
Cost equation

Estimate the job before the user spends money.

QRoute should be honest about pricing. When exact provider data is not available, it should show a clear estimate range instead of pretending the number is guaranteed.

max(0, (Task Fee + Shots x Shot Price + Runtime x Runtime Rate) x (1 + QRoute Markup) - Credits)
Estimated total
$0.715
This demo uses sample pricing to show the equation. Real production pricing would pull live provider rates when available.
Provider API

Give companies one clean integration layer.

QRoute can expose provider metadata, compatibility, and cost estimates through a simple JSON API. The current prototype includes Strangeworks, IBM, AWS Braket, IonQ, Azure Quantum, and a simulator option.

GET

/api/providers

List supported providers, access models, hardware families, pricing fields, and supported formats.

GET

/api/providers/{id}

Return one provider profile for routing, vendor comparison, or partner-specific setup screens.

POST

/api/estimate

Submit provider, shots, runtime, markup, and credits to receive a transparent cost breakdown.

{
  "provider": "ionq",
  "shots": 1000,
  "runtimeMinutes": 1.5,
  "markup": 0.1,
  "credits": 0
}
First customers

Start where the need is already clear.

Classrooms and labs

Guided demos, repeatable assignments, budget controls, and clear reports.

Individual researchers

Compare providers, track costs, export experiments, and avoid wasted runs.

Quantum startups

Test small circuits and use API access without building every integration.

Developer teams

Run starter circuits faster without several cloud accounts or hidden fees.

Business model

Sell software value first, compute access second.

Free

$0

Templates, simulator access, limited analysis, and limited saved reports.

Pro

$10-25/mo

More saved experiments, cost estimates, exports, and advanced checks.

Team

$99-299/mo

Shared workspace, budgets, team history, classroom or lab reports, and controls.

Enterprise

Custom

Governance, API access, integrations, procurement, support, and permissions.

Positioning

QRoute complements providers instead of competing with them.

AWS Braket, IBM Quantum, Azure Quantum, Strangeworks, IonQ, Rigetti, and other suppliers prove that quantum access exists. QRoute sits above that ecosystem as the simple runner, pricing, and reporting layer.

Provider-neutral comparisons

Upfront pricing and cost history

Simulator-first workflow

Beginner-friendly explanations

Team budget controls

Saved experiment reports

Risks

Be honest about quantum limits and build the workflow first.

Low demand

Start with classrooms, labs, hackathons, and research groups where the need is clearer.

Wrong recommendations

Show transparent reasoning and confidence levels instead of claiming perfect decisions.

Difficult APIs

Start with simulator and reports, then add real providers one at a time.

Hard monetization

Charge for workflow, reports, saved history, and budget controls before compute markup.
