Increasingly, cloud services are being looked on as the method for providing access to quantum processing.
[1] In early 2017, researchers from Rigetti Computing demonstrated the first programmable cloud access using the pyQuil Python library.
Some consumers hoped to use the fast computing to model financial markets or to build more advanced AI systems.
These use methods allow people outside a professional lab or institution to experience and learn more about such a phenomenal technology.
