How to run qtconsole connected to ipython3 instance?

When I run %qtconsole from within ipython3 I get ERROR: Line magic function%qtconsolenot found., but ipython3 qtconsole in terminal starts fine. According to this, how can I run qtconsole instance connected to ipython3 instance? And how to run it on a single core -- rc[0].execute(%qtconsole)?

P.S. If someone know, tell me please how to escape `(backquote) symbol in code-mode.

Reposting as an answer:

If you just run ipython3 in a terminal, what you get is a pure terminal interface, it's not running a kernel that the Qt console can talk to.

If you run ipython3 console, you'll get a similar interface but it will be talking to a kernel, so you can start a Qt console to interact with it. You can either run %qtconsole from inside that interface, or run ipython qtconsole --existing in a shell to start a Qt console and connect to an existing kernel.
