IBM QDMI Device
IBM QDMI Device connects IBM Quantum Platform to the Quantum Device Management Interface (QDMI), a vendor-neutral C API for quantum hardware. The C++20 library handles API-key authentication, calibration queries, and the job lifecycle. It submits OpenQASM 3 circuits and returns ordered shots and histograms. Optional Qiskit and PennyLane integrations use the same native interface.
Live metadata validation has passed; quantum execution has not yet been validated on hardware. Examples default to local simulation.
Installation
Install from a source checkout with Python 3.11 or newer, a C++20 compiler, CMake 3.24 or newer, and Git. Linux builds also require OpenSSL development headers.
uv venv
uv pip install . # core library and Python entry points
uv pip install '.[qiskit]' # adds the Qiskit backend (IBMBackend)
For C++ projects, follow the native installation guide for CMake build and installation commands.
Use .env.example as a reference for connection and optional
client settings. Supply credentials through the process environment or a secret
manager; the device does not load .env files.
