Q-Lab
A lab notebook for quantum computing teams that automatically logs every circuit run across IBM, IonQ and Amazon Braket, and predicts which provider will be cheapest before you submit the job.

Description
Quantum computing research has an unglamorous problem: every time a team runs an experiment, someone has to manually note which provider ran it, what it cost, and what the result was — usually in a spreadsheet that goes stale within a week. Q-Lab is built to remove that chore: it plugs into the quantum cloud providers a team already uses and automatically records every circuit run, so nobody has to remember to log anything, and a lab's experiment history stays searchable months later.
Q-Lab captures circuit runs across IBM Quantum, IonQ and Amazon Braket, visualizes gate depth and health scores per circuit, and includes a 'Cost Oracle' that predicts what a given circuit will cost on each connected provider and can auto-route it to the cheapest one. Teams get real-time collaboration on shared experiments, a natural-language copilot for querying past runs, and export tools aimed at writing up results for publication. It's currently in public beta with a free tier; per-plan pricing beyond that isn't published yet.
💬 Our review
The short version: Q-Lab is solving a real, unglamorous problem — most quantum research teams still track experiments in spreadsheets, and automatic multi-provider logging plus cost prediction is a genuinely useful layer that didn't really exist before.
The multi-cloud angle is the standout feature: IBM Quantum, IonQ and Amazon Braket each have their own console and billing, and a tool that unifies experiment tracking and predicts costs across all three (routing to the cheapest provider automatically) saves real money for teams running frequent jobs, especially in an early field where a single circuit run can already cost real budget. The tradeoffs are the ones you'd expect from a public beta in a tiny niche: no published pricing beyond the free tier, no visible funding or customer references, and the addressable market (teams actively running paid quantum-cloud jobs) is small enough that the product's long-term survival is unproven. Worth trying now if your team already runs jobs across more than one quantum provider and is tired of tracking costs by hand; if you only use a single provider's own console, its native tracking may already be enough.
