• Abstract: The Quantum Scientific Computing Open User Testbed (QSCOUT) at Sandia National Laboratories is a trapped-ion qubit system designed to evaluate the potential of near-term quantum hardware in scientific computing applications for the US Department of Energy (DOE) and its Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program. Similar to commercially available platforms, most of which are based on superconducting qubits, it offers quantum hardware that researchers can use to perform quantum algorithms, investigate noise properties unique to quantum systems, and test novel ideas that will be useful for larger and more powerful systems in the future. However, unlike most other quantum computing testbeds, QSCOUT uses trapped $^{171}$Yb$^{+}$ ions as the qubits, provides full connectivity between qubits, and allows both quantum circuit and low-level pulse control access to study new modes of programming and optimization. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide users and the general community with details of the QSCOUT hardware and its interface, enabling them to take maximum advantage of its capabilities.
