Programming with Qiskit

Qiskit has various libraries that link between the core hardware of a quantum system and the tools necessary to create quantum circuits, both transcend upward through the code stack. It is, therefore, the foundation used to create quantum circuits, as well as generating and scheduling pulses from the circuits onto the hardware devices. Other features, such as optimizers and transpilers, are used to ensure the circuits are optimal to reduce decoherence and improve performance. In this chapter, we will explore all the key features available in Qiskit to help you create your own circuits, optimizers, and pulse schedules.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

• Understanding quantum circuits
• Generating pulse ...
