The possibility of interaction-free measurements and counterfactual\ncomputations is a striking feature of quantum mechanics pointed out around 20\nyears ago. We implement such phenomena in actual 5-qubit, 15-qubit and 20-qubit\nIBM quantum computers by means of simple quantum circuits. The results are in\ngeneral close to the theoretical expectations. For the larger circuits (with\nnumerous gates and consequently larger errors) we implement a simple error\nmitigation procedure which improve appreciably the performance.\n
