Learn more about Azure Quantum pricing
Azure Quantum provides access to a range of solutions from Microsoft and partners. Pricing is determined by individual partners.
Get started with an Azure free account
Start free. Get $200 credit to use in 30 days. While you have your credit, get free amounts of popular services and 25+ other services.
After your credit, move to pay as you go to keep getting popular services and 25+ other services. Only pay if you use more than the free monthly amounts.
After 12 months, you’ll continue getting 25+ services free always—and still only pay for what you use beyond the free monthly amounts.

Quantum computing harnesses quantum mechanics to enable computation. Optimization is a class of computing problems that are primary candidates for running on quantum computers in the future, providing a quantum advantage over classical solutions. We can already accelerate optimization problems using Azure Quantum solvers that run on classical hardware in Azure today faster than many other classical optimization techniques. Learn more.
