In this chapter, you will get started with Qiskit, the top SDK out there for quantum programming. You will learn how easy it is to install it in your local system. This section also shows how quantum computation can mirror its classical counterpart and find shortcuts to get results even faster. Next, the chapter walks through the anatomy of a quantum program including system calls, circuit compilation and design, quantum assembly, and more.

Qiskit packs a set of helpful simulators to ...
