IBM has an API that allows users to use some of their quantum computers free of charge (the "Open Plan"). This plan gives one access to small quantum computers with up to 7 physical qubits.

I have just received an e-mail informing us that their user agreement has been updated such that it no longer allows users from certain countries to access their Open Plan:

As a result of these changes, the Open Plan will no longer be available to users located in or ordinarily resident in Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia, People's Republic of China (including Hong Kong), Cuba, Egypt, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, North Korea, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Macau, Moldova, Mongolia, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Yemen.

The Open Plan is specifically designed for "Educators, new learners, and developers who do not need to execute larger workloads.". This isn't an API powerful enough to theoretically allow an adversary to break encryption or perform another meaningful attack using these quantum computers. I think this is only going to block out these countries from experimenting with these tools in an educational setting.
