“…Since 2016, IBM has introduced a Cloud-based platform called IBM Q Experience [19] which allows users to access a set of prototype quantum processors (QPUs) and execute algorithms and experiments on them [20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31]. This platform currently consists of six 5 qubit devices, one 16 qubit and one 1 qubit devices together with a simulator used for checking algorithms before running real experiments.…”
