Hi Sowmya,

I understand you are facing issue in using the "quantum.backend.QuantumDeviceIBM" in MATLAB.

For using this function, you will have to install the "MATLAB Support Package for Quantum Computing" in your local desktop. The support package is published by the MATLAB Staf members. You can install the Support Package using the following link.

Hope this will help you!

Hi, thanks for your reply. I have downloaded the support package. but it is showing the same error. Is there anything i need to do more to it?

Have you also installed it? If not,when, double click on the support package, a pop up will appear, click on "Accept" then it will start downloading and installing packages. Try doing this in the working directory if possible.
