Part 2 Qubit Meets Qubit: Two Qubits and Entanglement

In this part, we introduce two-qubit systems. We begin by laying down the mathematical foundations of working with two qubits, including how to describe the system state, how to measure it, and how to transform it with quantum gates. We also show how to use new quantum phenomena, such as entanglement, to design surprising protocols, including quantum teleportation. We finally put all this in practice by learning how to work with two-qubit systems in Qiskit.

This part includes the following chapters:

  • Chapter  5, How to Work with Two Qubits

  • Chapter  6, Applications and Protocols with Two Qubits

  • Chapter  7, Coding Two-Qubit Algorithms in Qiskit
