When to use it

Build, simulate, transpile, and execute quantum circuits with Qiskit and IBM Quantum Runtime. Use for Qiskit 2.x circuits and operators, V2 Sampler or Estimator primitives, target-aware transpilation, local or noisy simulation, IBM QPU execution, Runtime sessions or batches, error mitigation, and Qiskit ecosystem packages.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:
  • “How do I run a Bell state circuit locally in Qiskit and get the counts?”
  • “I’m getting ‘The instruction cx is not supported by the target’ when I submit my VQE ansatz ansatz.py to ibm_brisbane through EstimatorV2 with a SparsePauliOp H2 Hamiltonian. The job fails right away. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?”
  • “I have a parameterized circuit for a variational energy minimization and want to run the optimization loop on real IBM quantum hardware without wasting queue time between iterations or re-compiling every step. What’s the right way to structure the runs, and how can I reduce the effect of hardware noise on the energies?”

Install

In Claude Code you can also add the marketplace with /plugin marketplace add KalarisLabs/research-agent-skills and install the whole physical-sciences category with /plugin install physical-sciences@research-agent-skills.
