# IBM adds managed quantum-classical workflows for Premium and Flex users

_Published Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at 7:11 AM EST · Science, Infrastructure · Latest · Tier 2 — Notable_

IBM says Premium and Flex plan users can now deploy workflows combining quantum and classical computing on managed infrastructure through IBM Quantum Platform. The release provides high-memory and GPU-accelerated classical compute, persistent storage for checkpoints, and tracking of execution and resource use.

Teams can deploy a workflow once and run large parameter sweeps beyond their laptops, with classical computing billed per second using Resource Units. IBM also moved its Quantum Functions catalog into beta, offering consumption-based billing per workload without an upfront commitment. Access to these managed workflows and the catalog billing model is limited to Premium and Flex plans.
