Quantum resource management interface (QRMI)

License Current Release Platform PyPI - Python Version manylinux: 2_28 C99 Lua 5.4+ Minimum rustc 1.91 Downloads Downloads DOI arXiv CI

[!IMPORTANT] Deprecation notice (since v0.23.0)

The IBM Qiskit Runtime Service API has been renamed to the IBM Quantum Compute Service API. Resource names and environment variable prefixes have changed accordingly. Legacy names remain supported until November 21, 2026. See the migration guide for details.

The Quantum resource management interface (QRMI) is a vendor-agnostic library for high-performance compute (HPC) systems to access, control, and monitor the behavior of quantum computational resources. It acts as a thin middleware layer that abstracts away the complexities associated with controlling quantum resources through a set of simple APIs. Written in Rust, this interface also exposes Python and C APIs for ease of integration into nearly any computational environment.

Find the source code to build and deploy QRMI in this GitHub repository.

An optional task_runner command line tool to execute quantum payloads against quantum hardware is included in the Python package. Find the full documentation in the GitHub repository.

Installation

Python

We encourage installing QRMI via pip:

pip install qrmi

To use a specific quantum resource, install QRMI with the corresponding optional dependencies:

pip install "qrmi[ibm]"       # Include dependencies for IBM
pip install "qrmi[iqm]"       # Include dependencies for IQM
pip install "qrmi[pasqal]"    # Include dependencies for Pasqal
pip install "qrmi[alice-bob]" # Include dependencies for Alice and Bob
pip install "qrmi[all]"       # Include dependencies for all quantum resources except `alice-bob`

Or combine multiple resources:

pip install "qrmi[ibm,pasqal]"

[!NOTE] Note: ibm and iqm extras cannot be installed together, as they depend on incompatible versions of Qiskit.

[!NOTE] Note: alice-bob cannot be installed alongside ibm or iqm, as it depends on Qiskit versions earlier than 2.0.

Pip will handle all dependencies automatically and you will always install the latest (and well-tested) version.

To install from source, follow the instructions in the documentation.

Standalone C library

Prebuilt binaries for Linux(glibc 2.28 compatible) on x86_64, ppc64le, and aarch64 platforms are available for download from the Releases tab of this GitHub repository.

To install from source, follow the instructions in the documentation.

Getting Started

This GitHub repository contains a variety of example code. See the README in each directory for details.

One of example of usage of QRMI in compute infrastrcture project is Slurm plugin for quantum resources. QRMI is used in Slurm plugin to control quantum resources during lifetime of Slurm job. See implementation and documentation of Quantum spank plugins for Slurm.

How to Cite This Work

QRMI is the work of many people who contribute to the project at different levels. If you use QRMI, please consider citing the associated overview paper Quantum resources in resource management systems. This helps support the continued development and visibility of the repository. The BibTeX citation handle can be found in the BibTeX file file.

Note we expect multiple versions of the overview paper to be released as the project evolves.
