IonQ's Research Credits Program supports academic and research institutions by providing access to up to $10,000 in quantum computing credits. These credits help defray the cost of accessing IonQ's advanced quantum systems—including Harmony, Aria, Forte, and upcoming models—and come with technical support and direct feedback from IonQ's experts. With a fast review process (typically within three business days) and flexible usage for research and educational projects, the program is ideal for initiatives in quantum computing research, algorithm development, curriculum design, and open-source tool creation. Credits cannot be used for commercial or personal projects.
