Section 3: Algorithms, Noise, and Other Strange Things in Quantum World

In this final section, we will describe the various quantum algorithms and their types, including things that appear strange to us in classical systems but are typical of quantum systems. This includes things such as noise, decoherence, affinity, and quantum volume, all of which can drastically affect the outcomes of your experiment.

You will also learn about Qiskit here, which has a library of tools that can be used to address, and at times avoid, many of these problems.

This section comprises the following chapters:

Chapter 7, Introducing Qiskit and its Elements
Chapter 8, Programming with Qiskit Terra
Chapter 9, Monitoring and Optimizing Quantum Circuits
Chapter 10
