Creating a new QPU

After creating the tenant admin account, the next step is adding a new QPU to QruiseOS. This can be achieved either via the dashboard or the Qruise CLI. In this article, we will use the former method. The latter will be described later in the advanced topics.

Check your permissions!

Creating new QPUs is restricted to tenant administrators only. Regular users will not be able to perform this action.

Start by navigating to the dashboard as a tenant admin user and selecting the "Admin settings" in the menu in the bottom-left corner:

Missing admin settings menu item

If you cannot see the admin settings menu item after logging in with your tenant administrator account, try reloading the page. We are currently working on a fix for this issue.

QruiseOS dashboard

You will be navigated to the tenant administrator page. Now select the "QPUs" button to open the QPU management view:

Admin settings page

Now you can click on the "Add QPU" button:

QPUs management page

In the page that opens, you can enter the name of the QPU to add. In this example, we'll add a QPU named onboarding-chip in anticipation of the tutorials that will be presented later. After filling in the text box, click on the "Create" button to finish the procedure, as shown in the screenshot below.

QPU naming

QPU names must follow the rules on QPU naming:

  • must be at least 6 characters
  • must contain only alphanumeric characters, spaces (" "), and hyphens ("-")
  • must begin and end with a number or a letter

QPU add view

You should now be redirected to the "Manage QPUs" page, where your QPU will be visible in the list. You can click on the list item, which will transfer you to the QPU management page, where you can change the QPU description that will be visible to all the users. Congratulations, your new QPU is ready to go!

Editing QPU details

It's not possible to change the QPU name after its creation. If you made a mistake while creating the QPU, you can correct it by creating a new one.
