AWS Braket

Simulators are billed for a minimum of 3 seconds per simulation.

There are two pricing components when using AWS Braket quantum hardware: a per-shot fee and a per-task fee. Per-task pricing is the same across all QPUs. The per-shot pricing depends on the type of QPU used. For gate-based QPUs, the per-shot price is not affected by the number or type of gates used in a quantum circuit.

Note that the use of error mitigation on IonQ's Aria QPU requires a minimum of 2,500 shots per task.

‍

Pricing example: A scientist runs a quantum algorithm on the Rigetti Aspen-M-3 quantum computer. This task includes 10,000 repeated shots of the same circuit design. The cost to run this task includes a per-task charge of €0.60, plus 10,000 shots at a per-shot price of €0.0007.

The cost to run this algorithm:

• Task charges: 1 task x €0.60 / task = €0.60
• Shots charges: 10,000 shots x €0.0007 / shot = €7.00

Total charges: €0.60 + €7.00 = €7.60

Azure Quantum

IonQ resources are charged based on the number of gates in your program, the complexity of the gates you use, and the number of shots. These units are called gate-shots.

Every quantum program consists of N quantum logical gates of one or more qubits, and is executed for a certain number of shots. The number of gate-shots is calculated by the following formula:

where:

• N is the number of one- or two-qubit gates submitted
• C is the number of execution shots requested

Multi-controlled two-qubit gates are billed as 6 * (N-2) two-qubit gates, where N is the number of qubits involved in the gate. For example, a NOT gate with three controls would be billed as (6 * (4-2)) or 12 two-qubit gates.

CPU & Memory

As an example, running a PlanQK Service with a one gigabyte memory configuration for 1 second consumes 1024 megabyte-seconds. Similarly, running a PlanQK Service with a 256 megabyte memory configuration for 4 seconds consumes 1024 megabyte-seconds as well.

Definitions

• vCPU per milliCPU-second: The virtual CPU resources reserved for your PlanQK Service. A milliCPU-second is defined as the usage of a one thousandth of one virtual CPU for one second.
• Memory per megabyte-second: The memory resources reserved for your PlanQK Service. A megabyte-second is defined as the usage of 1 MB of memory for one second.

GPU

As an example, running a PlanQK Service with one (1) NVIDIA® T4 GPU for 5 minutes would cost € 0.05835.

Definitions

• GPU core-second: The GPU resources reserved for your PlanQK Service. A GPU core-second is defined as the usage of one GPU core for one second.
