The IBM device

This device uses ProjectQ’s interfaces with the IBM Quantum Experience backend, which includes a simulator and access to the hardware.

For this you need to instantiate a 'projectq.ibm' device by giving your IBM Quantum Experience username and password:

import pennylane as qml
dev = qml.device('projectq.ibm', wires=2, user="XXX", password="XXX")

Storing your credentials

In order to avoid accidentally publishing your credentials, you should specify them via the PennyLane configuration file by adding a section such as

[projectq.global]

  [projectq.ibm]
  user = "XXX"
  password = "XXX"
