Teams from academia, industry, and government have historically collaborated with the AQT through its User Program, gaining full access to our hardware and software while helping advance quantum computing research.
The User Program is currently being restructured and does not plan to release an open call for user proposals on its usual annual cycle. We encourage you to check back for updates as the program evolves. In the meantime, we are always happy to discuss potential collaborations, and AQT staff can be reached at aqt@lbl.gov or submit your information via this form.


Seeking to publish in top peer-reviewed scientific journals, the experiments at AQT are tailored to the needs and specifications of the externals users at no additional cost.

New generations of students and researchers are being trained every day at AQT to leverage superconducting quantum electronics and processors, quantum algorithms and simulations, and so much more. The testbed user program provides complete access to all levels of quantum processing experiments and hardware for deep collaborative research, opening more opportunities for the sharing and dissemination of knowledge with the broader research community.


AQT operates an open-access experimental testbed designed for deep collaboration with external users from academia, National Laboratories, and industry. Seeking to publish in top peer-reviewed scientific journals, the experiments are tailored to the needs and specifications of the users at no additional cost.
