IBM's Qiskit Runtime was recently made available to a select group of users. Have they announced when it will be available to all users or when they might open it back up to a second round of new users?

    $\begingroup$ Not sure if this is considered the first or second round, but Qiskit Runtime is now available on ibmq_qasm_simulator for all premium users. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I am looking specifically to use it on real qc hardware. Has IBMQ discussed when that will be available to users? $\endgroup$

Qiskit runtime is now available on ibmq_qasm_simualtor for the public using the default open provider.

Qiskit runtime for real quantum system was also available for the participants during IBM Quantum Challenge Fall 2021 for a limited time in Oct 27-Nov 6 2021:

I asked on the Qiskit Slack and got this answer (translated from Spanish):

Runtime has no official release date for regular users. Right now, only certain IBM partners have access to help with debugging.

So, it seems they haven’t defined a date for public release yet.

In Sept. 2021, they announced that the Qiskit runtime has been enabled on all IBM Quantum systems on slack. Follow this link for more https://qiskit.slack.com/archives/C8GLMQ1U5/p1631806010144500. There also exists a jupyter notebook in the qiskit-tutorials folder where you can find, how to give your own program to the qiskit runtime service.
