Chapter 3: Creating Quantum Circuits using Quantum Lab Notebooks

In this chapter, you will learn how to create circuits using the Quantum Lab Notebooks installed on the IBM Quantum Experience. You will learn how to save, import, and leverage existing circuits without having to install anything on your own computer. This will allow you to get a jump start on developing quantum circuits right away and ensure that you will be able to run the tutorials based on the currently installed version.

The following Quantum Information Science Kit (Qiskit) notebook topics will be covered in this chapter:

Creating a quantum circuit using Quantum Lab Notebook
Opening and importing existing Quantum Lab Notebook
Developing a quantum circuit on Quantum Lab Notebook ...
