Understanding Qiskit basics and its elements

Qiskit was built for anyone who wants to work with quantum computers at every level and domain. By this, we mean that if a quantum researcher wanted to work on how the pulses are scheduled on a quantum device, they can do so very easily. The same can be said about users who simply want to extend their applications to leverage a quantum computer to compute information.

In this section, we will learn about the four elements of Qiskit, along with its basics.

Let's take, for example, chemistry researchers, who wish to compute the energy state of two molecules but don't want to go through the hassle of learning about quantum gates and pulses. They just want to load their dataset, classically, to a quantum algorithm and obtain the results transparently. Qiskit was built as a full stack open source software package to facilitate those and many more user type scenarios.

Quantum physicists can experiment at the hardware level by...
