Coding Quantum Computers for Free – with Kanav Setia from qBraid

This podcast episode introduces qBraid, a company that aims to simplify and accelerate the adoption of quantum computing. qBraid provides a platform that allows users to easily access state-of-the-art quantum software and hardware without the need for extensive setup or research. The company offers a user-friendly interface based on JupyterLab notebooks, emphasizing hacker-friendliness and providing multiple SDKs. qBraid's Quantum Computing for Developers program includes a learn platform with interactive courses and a lab platform for hands-on experimentation. The lab platform enables users to learn, build, and deploy quantum computing applications, providing access to popular quantum computing frameworks. qBraid also focuses on building a community and encourages knowledge sharing through code snippets and interactive blogs. The company plans to offer a free tier with limited features and explore premium tiers in the future. Additionally, qBraid is working on integrating with cloud providers to manage access and costs centrally, with a partnership already established with AWS Bracket. Overall, qBraid aims to make quantum computing more accessible and encourage more developers, including junior developers, to enter the field.
