Chapter 3: IBM Quantum Experience® – Quantum Drag and Drop

Something pretty amazing happened in the cloud in early 2016; a new type of computer opened its arms to the world—a programmable quantum computer.

In this chapter, we will talk briefly about the early history of IBM Quantum Experience®, how to get there, and how to open a user account. We will take a look at the drag-and-drop user interface for programming the IBM quantum computers (Circuit Composer).

Also, we will take a quick peek at how you can move back and forth between IBM Quantum Experience® and Qiskit® by using the underlying OpenQASM coding.

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

• Introducing IBM Quantum Experience®
• Building quantum scores with Circuit Composer
• Tossing a quantum coin
• Moving between worlds

We will not stay long here; just long enough to scratch the surface, present a quantum circuit we will play with later in Chapter...
