Questions tagged [ibm-q-experience]
Use this tag for questions about IBM's quantum processors which are accessible online. DO NOT use this for questions about general Qiskit issues. As of July 2018, there are five processors on the IBM Q Experience: two 5-qubit processors, one 16-qubit processor and two 20-qubit processors (only available to hubs, partners, and members of the IBM Q network).
