Book Description
IBM Quantum Experience is a platform that enables developers to learn
the basics of quantum computing by allowing them to run experiments on a
quantum computing simulator and a real quantum computer. This book will
explain the basic principles of quantum mechanics, the principles
involved in quantum computing, and the implementation of quantum
algorithms and experiments on IBM's quantum processors.
You will start working with simple programs that illustrate quantum
computing principles and slowly work your way up to more complex
programs and algorithms that leverage quantum computing. As you build on
your knowledge, you'll understand the functionality of IBM Quantum
Experience and the various resources it offers. Furthermore, you'll not
only learn the differences between the various quantum computers but
also the various simulators available. Later, you'll explore the basics
of quantum computing, quantum volume, and a few basic algorithms, all
while optimally using the resources available on IBM Quantum Experience.
By the end of this book, you'll learn how to build quantum programs on
your own and have gained practical quantum computing skills that you can
apply to your business.
