How many issues are there going from the simulator to the practical circuit? I've had issues with the IBM computers.

Thanks for all the cool stuff to play with!

We haven't integrated arbitrary circuit execution features in yet, but when we do we'll make the transition as smooth as possible.

It's important to remember though that noise is a fact of life for this generation of small prototype quantum processors. You'll definitely see a difference between a perfect simulation and true hardware.
