This thesis presents an experimental benchmarking study of the IQM Spark, an on-premise five-qubit superconducting quantum device recently installed at Politecnico di Torino. The main objective is to provide a first validation of the quantum computer through practical experiments, in order to understand its capabilities and limitations. In order to better evaluate the results obtained from the quantum machine, the defined set of experiments has also been performed using classical emulation, both noiseless and noisy. In particular, this stage made it possible to validate the workflow and to prepare the circuits in advance. Then, all experiments have been repeated on the actual IQM Spark quantum computer, and the results have been compared with those obtained on a fake backend.
