Summary

Create an IBM Quantum session on a selected backend, choosing batch or dedicated mode and setting its maximum lifetime. The session groups jobs for execution on that backend; dedicated mode reserves the QPU for back-to-back jobs and requires a paid plan.

Inputs

  • Mode — Batch (the default) queues jobs consecutively; dedicated reserves the QPU for back-to-back jobs and requires a paid plan. The Open plan supports batch only.
  • Backend Name or ID (required) — Backend to reserve for the session. Choose a backend from the loaded list or provide its ID with an expression; the displayed status and queue are read when the node opens and can be refreshed from the field menu.
  • Max TTL (Seconds) — Maximum session lifetime, sent as max_ttl. Defaults to 28,800 seconds; IBM caps this at 600 seconds on the Open plan and 28,800 seconds on paid plans. Setting it to 0 omits the field so IBM applies the plan default.

Output shape

A single session result returned by the IBM Quantum API.
