Execution on Azure Hardware

The Classiq executor supports execution on Azure Quantum cloud simulators and hardware. For detailed information, visit https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/quantum/.

Usage

Execution on Azure Quantum requires an Azure account with an active subscription, and an Azure Quantum workspace with the requested backend provider enabled. For more details, visit: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/quantum/how-to-create-workspace.
