eBook Description:

Learn Quantum Computing with Python and IBM Quantum, 2nd Edition: Write your own practical quantum programs with Python. 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 Learn Quantum Computing with Python and IBM Quantum, 2nd 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.

• Get familiar with the features within the IBM Quantum Platform
• Create and visualize quantum gates and circuits
• Operate quantum gates on qubits using the IBM Quantum Composer
• Install and run your quantum circuits on an IBM Quantum computer
• Discover Qiskit and its many features such as the Qiskit Runtime
• Get to grips with fundamental quantum algorithms and error mitigation techniques to help you get started
• Understand the new era of quantum utility and how this moves us closer towards quantum advantage

By the end of this Learn Quantum Computing with Python and IBM Quantum, Second Edition 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.
