A step-by-step guide to working with programs that exploit quantum computing principles, with the help of IBM Quantum, Qiskit, and Python
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.
This book is for Python developers who are looking to learn quantum computing from the ground up and put their knowledge to use in practical situations with the help of the IBM Quantum Platform and Qiskit. Some background in computer science and high school-level physics and math is required.
Robert Loredo is the IBM Quantum Ambassador Worldwide lead with over 20 years' experience in software architecture and engineering. He is a Qiskit Advocate and Master Inventor, listed as one of the world's most prolific inventors with over 200 patents. He has presented various workshops, lectures, and articles covering quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and bioinformatics worldwide. As an adjunct professor, he has taught cloud computing and software engineering at the Florida International University School of Computer Science. He holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering from the University of Miami and is currently pursuing his PhD in Computer Science, specializing in Quantum Machine Learning and NeuroInformatics, at Florida International University. As a philanthropist, one of his favorite charities is Doctors without Borders.
