Quantum Computing with Python and IBM Quantum Experience

A Step-by-Step Guide to Quantum Computing with IBM Quantum Experience, Qiskit, and Python

Key Features: - Understand the fundamental differences between classical and quantum computers - Explore quantum computational principles like superposition and entanglement, and how they are leveraged on the IBM Quantum Experience - Run your own quantum experiments and applications by integrating with Qiskit

Book Description: The 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 guide you through the essential principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computing, and the implementation of quantum algorithms and experiments on IBM's quantum processors.

You will begin by working with simple programs that illustrate quantum computing principles, gradually progressing to more complex programs and algorithms that leverage quantum computing. As you build your knowledge, you'll become familiar with the functionality of the IBM Quantum Experience and the various resources it offers. You'll also learn about the differences between the different quantum computers and simulators available.

Later, you'll explore the fundamentals of quantum computing, quantum volume, and a few basic algorithms, all while optimally utilizing the resources available on the IBM Quantum Experience. By the end of this book, you'll have gained practical quantum computing skills that you can apply to your business.

What you will learn: - Explore quantum computational principles such as superposition and quantum entanglement - Become familiar with the contents and layout of the IBM Quantum Experience - Understand quantum gates and how they operate on qubits - Discover the Qiskit quantum information science kit and its elements, including Terra and Aer - Implement quantum algorithms like Bell State, Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover's, and Shor's - Learn how to create and visualize a quantum circuit

Who this book is for: This book is for Python developers who are interested in learning quantum computing and applying their knowledge to practical situations using the IBM Quantum Experience. A background in computer science, high-school-level physics, and mathematics is required.
