It abstracts IonQ's REST API behind Qiskit's standard backend interface, allowing developers to write circuits in Qiskit and execute them on IonQ hardware or simulators without managing API calls directly.\n\nThe provider supports core quantum operations including mid-circuit measurements, qubit reuse, error mitigation strategies (debiasing), per-shot memory retrieval, and dry-run compilation for inspecting post-compilation circuits before execution. It handles circuit transpilation to IonQ's supported gate set and integrates with Qiskit's standard job submission and result retrieval patterns.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to run Qiskit circuits on IonQ hardware or simulators. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and integrates cleanly with Qiskit's standard patterns. Requires an IonQ API token and Python 3.10+; no known security vulnerabilities."},"id":"qiskit-ionq","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/qiskit-ionq","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/qiskit-ionq.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/qiskit-ionq/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"qiskit-ionq","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Qiskit provider for IonQ backends"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":75504,"position":14705,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.1"}
