IBM puts a quantum processor on the cloud
IBM Quantum Experience allowed researchers, students and developers to run circuits on real quantum hardware remotely.
Cloud access lowered the barrier to experimentation and helped build a developer ecosystem around quantum programming. Users still worked with small noisy devices, but quantum hardware was no longer confined to the laboratory teams that built it.
