Interested in learning how to program quantum computers? Then check out our Qiskit textbook Introduction to Quantum Computing with Qiskit.

Introduction

IBMs quantum devices all vary whether its in terms of the number of qubits, pending jobs to those devices or whether they are operational at a certain time.

With the backend_overview() function however we can see at a glance information for all those devices which can be very useful if we are deciding what device we should send our program to.

Steps

Copy and paste the code below in to a python file
Enter your API token in the IBMQ.enable_account('Insert API token here') part
Save and run

Code

print('\nDevice Monitor') print('----------------')  from qiskit import IBMQ from qiskit.tools.monitor import backend_overview  IBMQ.enable_account('Insert API token here') # Insert your API token in to here provider = IBMQ.get_provider(hub='ibm-q')  backend_overview() # Function to get all information back about each quantum device    print('\nPress any key to close') input()

Output

After running the code you will see something like the following printed on the screen :
