IBM Q Experience is an online platform that gives users general public access to IBM's quantum prototype quantum processor through Cloud, an online internet forum to discuss topics relevant to quantum computing, a series of tutorials on how to program IBM Q devices, and other educational materials about quantum computing. This is an example of cloud-based quantum computing. In May 2018, there were three processors on the IBM Q Experience: two 5-qubit processors and 16-qubit processors. This service can be used to run algorithms and experiments, and explore tutorials and simulations around what is possible with quantum computing. The site also provides a list of easy-to-find research papers published using IBM Q Experience as an experimental platform.
IBM's quantum processors consist of a superconductor transmission qubit, located in the decomposition refrigerator at IBM Research headquarters at Thomas J. Watson Research Center.
Users interact with quantum processors through quantum circuit calculation models, applying quantum gates to qubits using a GUI called quantum composers, writing quantum assembly language code or through QISKit.

Histori
In May 2016, IBM launched the IBM Q Experience, with five quantum qubit processors and matching simulators connected in a star-shaped pattern, which users can only interact with through quantum builders, with a set of limited two-qubit interactions, and user guides that assume background in linear algebra.
In July 2016, IBM launched the IBM Q Experience community forum.
In January 2017, IBM made a number of additions to the IBM Q Experience, including improving the collection of two qubit interactions available on five qubit quantum processors, extending the simulator up to a custom topology of up to twenty qubits, and allowing users to interact with devices and simulators using language codes quantum assembly.
In March 2017, IBM released QISKit to allow users to more easily write code and run experiments on quantum processors and simulators, as well as introducing user guides for beginners.
In May 2017, IBM built an additional 16 qubit processor available at IBM Q Experience.
In January 2018, IBM launched a quantum awards program, which hosted the IBM Q Experience.

Quantum Composer
The Quantum Composer is a graphical user interface (GUI) designed by IBM to allow users to build various quantum algorithms or run other quantum experiments. Users can view the results of their quantum algorithms by running them on real quantum processors and using "units" or by using a simulator. The algorithms developed in Quantum Composer are referred to as "quantum scores", referring to Quantum Composers that resemble sheet music.
The IBM Q Experience currently contains a library that teaches users how to use Quantum Composter. This library consists of two guides: Starter Guide, Complete User Guide. There is an additional tutorial on using the IBM Q Experience engine in the github repo for QISKit accessed from qiskit.org.
Composers can also be used in scripting mode, where users can write programs in QASM language.
Sample script
Di bawah ini adalah contoh dalam bahasa QASM dari program yang sangat kecil, yang dibuat untuk komputer IBM 5-qubit. Program menginstruksikan komputer untuk menghasilkan keadaan , status GHZ 3-qubit, yang dapat dianggap sebagai varian dari status Bell tetapi dengan tiga qubit, bukan hanya dua klasik. Kemudian mengukur keadaan, memaksanya untuk runtuh ke salah satu dari dua hasil yang mungkin.
Each instruction in the QASM language is a quantum gateway application, the chip initialization register to zero or the measurement of this register.
Beginner's Guide
The Beginner Guide introduces users to the terminology and conceptual knowledge of quantum mechanics needed to construct a quantum score. Beginner guides introduce readers to the basic concepts of quantum computing: the behavior of qubits, quantum entanglement, and quantum gates.
Full User Guide
Complete user guide is more in depth and analytical than the beginner's guide, and is recommended for those with experience in linear algebra or quantum computing. Unlike the beginner's guide, the full user guide contains examples of quantum algorithms, with an explanation comparing quantum algorithms with their classic counterparts.
Both the Starter and the Complete User Guide can be updated by anyone through the QISKit github repository.
Usage
IBM reports that there are more than 80,000 users of IBM Q Experience, which collectively run more than 3 million experiments.
Many of these users are active researchers who collectively publish at least 71 academic papers using the platform.
University professors also integrate examples and experiments based on IBM Q Experience into their educational curriculum.
Dr. Christine Corbett Moran, a postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology, used the IBM Q Experience when he was conducting research in Antarctica.
People have also used IBM Q Experience for various non-academic purposes. One user has begun developing a game using IBM Q Experience, including a "quantum warship" titled.
