Synopsis

A step-by-step guide to working with programs that exploit quantum computing principles, with the help of IBM Quantum, Qiskit, and Python

Key Features

• Understand the difference between classical computers and quantum computers
• Work with key quantum computational principles such as superposition, interference, and entanglement, and observe how they are leveraged on the IBM Quantum systems
• Run your own quantum experiments and applications by integrating with Qiskit and Python

Book Description

The IBM Quantum Platform was built to enable developers to learn the basics of quantum computing by providing access to high performant quantum computers and provide documentation and courses to help get up to speed with the latest features in quantum computing.

Updated with new examples and changes to the platform, this edition begins with an introduction to the IBM Quantum Platform and the Quantum Information Science Kit (Qiskit) SDK. You will become well versed in the IBM Quantum Composer interface as well as running your quantum circuits on a real quantum computer. Along the way, you’ll learn some of the fundamental principles regarding quantum mechanics, qubits, quantum gates, quantum circuits, and the error mitigation techniques that are used to perform operations on qubits.

As you build on your knowledge, you’ll understand the functionality of IBM Qiskit and the developer-focused resources so you can create your own quantum algorithms. You’ll learn how to monitor and optimize your quantum circuits. Lastly, you’ll look at the fundamental quantum algorithms and understand how they can be applied effectively.

By the end of this quantum computing book, you'll know how to build quantum algorithms and will have gained a practical understanding of quantum computation that you can apply to your research or business.
