I really just want to know who know's about this platform so I can understand the standards of sharing and publishing projects and code in the open source space, so, who's heard of this: http://www.research.ibm.com/quantum/

The "code" is all in quantum gates (like bitwise operators on qubits) so I don't see how IBM could claim ownership of it. They use a graphical notation, but it gets evaluated to text you could share. The real question is what would be the purpose of that? Do you have access to another quantum computer to run them on? Or even a simulator? The point of the IBM project is to let you evaluate rather standard quantum algorithms since the results are probabilistic. If you're designing more efficient quantum algorithms that would probably be more appropriate for publication in a peer-reviewed physics journal than sharing in an open source programming community...
