Introduction

The q8s-kernel is a Jupyter kernel that allows you to edit quantum circuits in a Jupyter notebook and execute them in a remote Qubernetes cluster that has GPU support.

This differs from the JupyterHub with Kubernetes approach, where the Jupyter notebook runs in a container in the cluster. In this case, the Jupyter notebook starts on your local machine and the quantum circuits are executed in the cluster. The GPU resources in the cluser are used only during the execution of the quantum circuits.
