Learn Quantum Computing with Python and IBM Quantum Experience

A hands-on introduction to quantum computing and writing your own quantum programs with Python. This book provides you with a step-by-step introduction to quantum computing using the IBM Quantum Experience platform. You will learn how to build quantum programs on your own, discover early use cases in your business, and help to get you or your company equipped with quantum computing skills.

A step-by-step guide to learning the implementation and associated methodologies in quantum computing with the help of the IBM Quantum Experience, Qiskit, and Python that will have you up and running and productive in no time

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

IBM Quantum Experience is a platform that enables developers to learn the basics of quantum computing by allowing them to run experiments on a quantum computing simulator and a real quantum computer. This book will explain the basic principles of quantum mechanics, the principles involved in quantum computing, and the implementation of quantum algorithms and experiments on IBM's quantum processors.

You will start working with simple programs that illustrate quantum computing principles and slowly work your way up to more complex programs and algorithms that leverage quantum computing. As you build on your knowledge, you'll understand the functionality of IBM Quantum Experience and the various resources it offers. Furthermore, you'll not only learn the differences between the various quantum computers but also the various simulators available. Later, you'll explore the basics of quantum computing, quantum volume, and a few basic algorithms, all while optimally using the resources available on IBM Quantum Experience.

By the end of this book, you'll learn how to build quantum programs on your own and have gained practical quantum computing skills that you can apply to your business.

• Explore quantum computational principles such as superposition and quantum entanglement
