### Accessibility --- title: Accessibility features for IBM Quantum Platform description: Learn about keyboard navigation, high contrast mode, and other IBM Quantum Platform accessibility features --- # Accessibility features for IBM Quantum Platform Accessibility features assist users who have a disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology content successfully. ## Accessibility features IBM Quantum® Platform includes the following major accessibility features: * Keyboard-only operation * Operations that use a screen reader IBM Quantum Platform uses the W3C Standard, [WAI-ARIA 1.2](http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/), to ensure compliance to ensure compliance to [US Section 508](https://www.access-board.gov/ict/), [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/), and [EN 301 549](https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/301500_301599/301549/02.01.02_60/en_301549v020102p.pdf). To take advantage of accessibility features, use the latest release of your screen reader in combination with the latest Chrome web browser that is supported by this product. The IBM Quantum Platform online product documentation and the IBM Quantum Platform user interface framework are enabled for accessibility. ## Interface information Review the following information about the IBM Quantum Platform user interface: * If you are using a screen reader with the IBM Quantum Platform web user interface or product documentation, use the latest version of Chrome with the latest release of the screen reader. * If you are using keyboard operation only on a Mac product, ensure that your MacOS setting is enabled for `Keyboard navigation: Use keyboard navigation to move focus between controls`. * The IBM Quantum Platform user interface does not have content that flashes 2 - 55 times per second. * The IBM Quantum Platform web user interface relies on cascading style sheets to render content properly and to provide a usable experience. The application provides an equivalent way for low-vision users to use their system display settings, including high-contrast mode. You can control font size by using the device or web browser settings. * The IBM Quantum Platform web user interface includes WAI-ARIA navigational landmarks that you can use to quickly navigate to functional areas in the application. ## IBM and accessibility For more information about the commitment that IBM has to accessibility, see [IBM Accessibility](http://www.ibm.com/able). ## Related information - Review and download the [Accessibility Compliance Report (ACR)](https://www.ibm.com/able/product_accessibility/request/?requestId=fde1821fa5034140a45563f4f15eadaf) - [Accessibility Statement for IBM Documentation](https://www.ibm.com/docs/about?topic=accessibility-statement-documentation) --- ### Responsible Quantum Computing --- title: Responsible quantum computing description: A review of the Responsible Quantum Principles at IBM --- # Responsible quantum computing IBM® is committed to empowering clients and partners to meet their customers' expectations for responsible technology. As part of the IBM technology portfolio, quantum computing now falls under the [IBM Responsible Technology and Governance Framework](https://www.ibm.com/trust/responsible-technology), which applies a foundation for building responsible technology, evaluating the capabilities of technology and its impact on human agency, societal well-being, and environmental sustainability. Since first putting a quantum computer on the cloud, IBM has been committed to bringing useful quantum computing to the world. This means realizing use cases with our clients and building an ecosystem around this technology. Core to this mission is trust. We devote substantial effort to the responsible development and deployment of quantum. This includes decision making aligned with the IBM principles of trust plus a [code of conduct](/docs/guides/code-of-conduct) that governs the open-source Qiskit community. Previously, we published five principles detailing our commitment to responsible quantum: 1. make a positive societal impact, 2. make consistent and transparent principled decisions, 3. explore use cases with foresight, 4. promote our products accurately, and 5. build a diverse and inclusive quantum community. Since then, we've aligned quantum with the IBM Responsible Technology team to ensure that their principles and processes incorporate our philosophy. Responsible technology is not aspirational but embedded and actionable across quantum and the broader company, and reinforces IBM's core values of client dedication, innovation that matters, and trust. We endeavor for quantum to shape human agency, societal well-being, and improve environmental sustainability. We continue to extend quantum to the world through our access plans, the Qiskit open source community, and our world-leading free education. Bringing useful quantum computing to the world means doing so responsibly—and we feel confident that the IBM Responsible Technology board and Principles of Trust allow us to achieve that goal.
