Blog summary:

  • Qiskit Functions make it easier than ever for researchers to run large‑scale quantum experiments without deep quantum expertise.
  • The addition of new functions and tutorials help users solve problems across use cases in chemistry, optimization, PDEs, and machine learning.
  • New features make running, debugging, and analyzing quantum workflows faster and more intuitive.
  • Academic, startup, and enterprise teams are already scaling experiments to record qubit and gate counts using Qiskit Functions.
  • Premium and Flex Plan users can request free trials for any Qiskit Function.
  • Eligible Premium Plan organizations can request a free one-year license between now and 31 March.

Qiskit Functions launched in 2024—a year earlier than predicted by that year’s IBM Quantum Roadmap—and in 2025 we made it bigger, better, and even easier to use. Now, to kick off 2026, we’re taking a look at some of the new features and functions that are making the Qiskit Functions Catalog a…
