Become a Qollab Ambassador
Champion quantum in your community, help newcomers run their first circuit, and earn monthly IonQ hardware credits while you do it.
Bring quantum to your corner of the world
Quantum still feels closed off to most people who could be building with it. Ambassadors change that locally. You already have a community, a campus, a meetup, a Discord, a lab, and you help the people in it take their first real step into quantum. We give you the credits, the tools, and the backup to make that easy.
What ambassadors do
- Run meetups, workshops, or hack nights where people write and run their first quantum circuit.
- Help newcomers get past the intimidating part and onto real hardware through the Qollab Playground.
- Share what people in your community are building, so their work gets seen.
- Send signal back to the team on what is confusing, missing, or working well.
What you get
Monthly hardware credits
Credits to run on real IonQ quantum hardware, for you and the people you bring in.
Early access
New Playground features and templates before they go wide, plus a direct line to the team.
Event support
Materials, guidance, and a network of other ambassadors to run great sessions.
Who we are looking for
You do not need to be a quantum expert. You need to be good at gathering people. Student leaders, community organizers, educators, and developer advocates make the best ambassadors. If you already get people in a room around code, science, or creative work, you can do this.
How to apply
Tell us about your community and what you would like to run. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline to race. If it is a fit, the team follows up to get you set up with credits and materials.
