Chapter 14, Exercise 2

Create a free IBM Quantum Experience account at https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/. Locate your IBM Quantum Services API token at https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/account and install it into your local environment using the instructions at https://qiskit.org/documentation/install.html.

Answer

1. Visit https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/. If you don’t already have an account, click the Create an IBMid account. link to get started.

2. Once you are logged in, click on the account icon at the top right (it looks like a little person).

3. Locate the Copy token button on the screen. Click it to copy your API token to the clipboard.

4. Return to the Anaconda prompt for the qiskitenv environment you created in Exercise 1.

5. Enter the following commands at the Anaconda prompt to set up your API token. You will need to replace MY_TOKEN with the token you copied to the clipboard in the earlier step:

   python
   import qiskit
   from qiskit import IBMQ
   IBMQ.save_account('MY_TOKEN')
