Quantum Computing in Practice with Qiskit® and IBM Quantum Experience®

Preface

IBM Quantum Experience® with Qiskit® together form a popular and easy-to-use quantum computing platform. They let you access and program actual IBM quantum computer hardware in the cloud, but you can also run your code on local and cloud-based simulators.

This book is designed to teach you how to implement quantum programming in a Python® environment, first at an elementary level, and later moving to more advanced examples. The locally installable Quantum Information Science Toolkit (Qiskit) software is built on Python and represents the most accessible tool available today for learning quantum computing.

Throughout the recipes of this book, we will introduce the Qiskit classes and methods step by step, starting with the very basic ...
