Access IBM quantum computers

- [Instructor] So far, we've only simulated quantum circuits on our computer using the simulators that are included with Qiskit. Now, let's run our circuits using real quantum hardware. IBM has made several small quantum computers available to use for free through the cloud. To use those resources, go to quantum-computer.ibm.com and register a free account. After logging in, you should see a dashboard page similar to this. To access and use IBM's quantum compute resources from Qiskit, we'll need an API token. I can get my personal API token from the top right section of this landing page by clicking this button to copy it to my clipboard. I'll be using this token with my Qiskit program in the next video. To see all of the quantum computers that are available for me to use, I'll click the view all link on the IBM quantum compute resources section. Notice at the top that I'm on the all systems tab, so right now I'm seeing…
