Proprietary quantum clouds are "black boxes." When your simulation fails, is it your code, or a bug in the closed-source simulator? When you pay per shot on a real device, can you verify the result wasn't corrupted by a known bug?
You can simulate a Shor’s algorithm factoring 15. You can compile a Grover’s search for a specific backend. You can train a quantum neural network to classify iris species. All without a credit card.
While not a hardware service, OpenFermion is an open-source library critical for the "service" of quantum chemistry. It allows users to compile and simulate fermionic systems (like molecules) to run on quantum hardware. It is maintained by Google Quantum AI and collaborators.
The quantum future isn't just behind a paywall. It’s on GitHub. And it’s waiting for you to clone it.
This isn't about charity. It’s about accessibility. And it’s changing who gets to build the future.
Here are the key services you can use today, completely free, with source code available on GitHub.
So what’s the catch?
