Chapter 9: Monitoring and Optimizing Quantum Circuits

In the previous chapter, you learned how to program Qiskit Terra, using both circuits and pulse schedules.

We'll continue with the topic of circuits in this chapter, specifically monitoring and optimizing circuits. When running a quantum circuit on a quantum device, it helps to be able to monitor and track the status of your circuit, particularly when running multiple circuits on multiple devices at once.

Luckily, IBM Quantum Experience (IQX) provides plenty of features to allow us to do this with ease. Additionally, IQX provides a set of classes and features, available to optimize and enhance the visualizations of your circuits. Learning about these features will not only help optimize your circuit results but will also allow you to render the circuits in various styles and representations, such as a directed cyclical graph.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

• Monitoring and tracking jobs
