Chapter 1: Preparing Your Environment
Before you can start working on your quantum programs, you must have a Python environment to execute your code. The examples in this book can be run both on your local machine by using the Qiskit® developer environment provided by IBM Quantum® and in an online environment on IBM Quantum Experience®.
In this chapter, we will take a look at both environments, get you a login account on IBM Quantum Experience®, and install a local version of Qiskit®. We will also discuss the fast-moving environment that is open source Qiskit®, and how to keep your local environment up to date.
We will cover the following recipes:
- Creating your IBM Quantum Experience® account
- Installing Qiskit®
- Downloading the code samples ...
