Description

IBM Quantum Experience® is a leading platform for programming quantum computers and implementing quantum solutions directly on the cloud. This book will help you get up to speed with programming quantum computers and provide solutions to the most common problems and challenges. You’ll start with a high-level overview of IBM Quantum Experience® and Qiskit®, where you will perform the installation while writing some basic quantum programs. This introduction puts less emphasis on the theoretical framework and more emphasis on recent developments such as Shor’s algorithm and Grover’s algorithm. Next, you’ll delve into Qiskit®, a quantum information science toolkit, and its constituent packages such as Terra, Aer, Ignis, and Aqua. You’ll cover these packages in detail, exploring their benefits and use cases. Later, you’ll discover various quantum gates that Qiskit® offers and even deconstruct a quantum program with their help, before going on to compare Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) and Universal Fault-Tolerant quantum computing using simulators and actual hardware. Finally, you’ll explore quantum algorithms and understand how they differ from classical algorithms, along with learning how to use pre-packaged algorithms in Qiskit® Aqua. By the end of this quantum computing book, you’ll be able to build and execute your own quantum programs using IBM Quantum Experience® and Qiskit® with Python.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers, data scientists, machine learning researchers, or quantum computing enthusiasts who want to understand how to use IBM Quantum Experience® and Qiskit® to implement quantum solutions and gain practical quantum computing experience. Python programming experience is a must to grasp the concepts covered in the book more effectively. Basic knowledge of quantum computing will also be beneficial.

Libro interessante per chi lavora con quell'ambiente. E' una sorta di coltellino svizzero per trovare subito le informazioni che ti servono.

If you are into programming, math, or solving hard analytics problems you might know about Quantum Computing. It's been moving along and promises to change the future of computing, cryptography, search methods, and many other math-driven enterprises. However, it's not there yet, and you can't go to Best Buy and pick up a Quantum Notebook to learn with. This book is your key to learning Quantum Computing before it becomes mainstream. IBM has made several actual Quantum Computing systems available online for free, and this book tells you how to use them. The author Hassi Norlen makes this about as straightforward as, say, learning Excel.Topics covered include the Qiskit programming system which makes everything available via Python and gives you lots of access to the IBM Quantum Experience. Topics like Pauli notation, Superposition, Transpiling, and the names of a dozen or so Quantum Gates will roll off your tongue once you finish this book! In addition to the basics, you will learn about IBM's QASM and Aer quantum computer simulators, which among other things can be used to "debug" your Quantum circuits before you try them on real backends. You also learn about Qiskit Ignis, which can apply corrections to Quantum readout (as today's Quantum Computers are noisy), Grover's Search Algorithm (a Quantum algorithm), and how to import methods (including Grover's algorithm) into Python using Aqua.This book is a huge service to the community. Keep in mind if you have 0 linear algebra background, no Python experience, and don't like basic math notation, this book may be a struggle but you can still work through it. On the other hand, if you have a comfort level in those things, you will breeze through this and wonder why you weren't Quantum coding before.

I really like this book although, I have not finished reading it yet and am bout halfway though. This book is very clear, great and helpful for everyone to learn about quantum computing and build hands-on skills using Qiskit and IBM Q. A little background in quantum computing will be helpful but this book takes you step by step through basic quantum programs and circuit schematics to inspect in detail fundamental concepts in quantum mechanics such as superposition, quantum entanglement and etc.In summary, this book would be a valuable reference for someone who is in the field of quantum computing, or even starting in the field. It is very comprehensive, up-to-date, and the varied information is covered.

I really like this book for a variety of different reasons: it is thorough, accurate, and easily comprehensible. As a quantum engineer, we get questions all the time about how to better use and understand the software and I will point them now to this book.The chapters are very well organized and include all the important snipbits of code from Qiskit. I also like that this book can be used as a learning tool from the group up as well as a quick reference.It might not be the best tool for those looking to understand deep quantum theory or are coming from an experimentalist background, but for those who are developers and computer scientists, this up-to-date guide is ideal.
