HQS Cloud

Write and run your Python code in any browser with HQS Cloud. Our platform uses JupyterLab to provide a seamless cloud-based experience for data science and scientific computing. See our plans to learn more about unlocking HQS Cloud. You may use our free plan to get started.

Starting your JupyterLab Server

To launch HQS Cloud visit https://cloud.quantumsimulations.de/notebook and press the “Get started” button. This will launch Jupyter in a new tab of your browser. Use your HQS credentials (email and password) to login to your Jupyter instance and start your personal JupyterLab server (“Start My Server”).

Danger

After starting your server your HQ$ balance will be debited until you shutdown the server!

Hint

After 6 hours of inactivety we will automatically shut down your server and stop debiting your HQ$ balance.

Using your server

Once started you can create and run jupyter notebooks. We have pre-installed all eligible HQS Modules and common packages like numpy into your Python environment. For a more detailed documentation on Jupyter we refer to the official Jupyter documentation. You can install additional python packages into your environment using the command

!pip install <package name>

in a notebook cell.

Accessing examples

Coming soon: You will be able to access all examples for our modules from your Jupyter notebboks on HQS Cloud.

Shutdown the server

To shutdown the server open your JupyterLab instance (see here) and click `File–>Hub Control Panel–>Stop My Server“. This will shutdown your server and your HQ$ balance will no longer be debited.
