This blog is co-authored by IBM Quantum Ambassador Luke Johnson and IBM Qiskit Advocate Abby Mitchell If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of jargon in quantum computing literature, or if terms like Eigenvalue and Hamiltonian sound more like Broadway stars than anything else, then you’ve come to…

Qiskit and IBM Quantum host a TON of events throughout the year, and it can be hard to keep track of the ones that are most important to you. There are events for beginners, for advanced users, for students, for researchers, for open source enthusiasts — and so much more…

By Abby Mitchell and Luciano Bello If you’ve been paying close attention to our website and our Qiskit Community Github Organization over the last few months, you may have noticed a bunch of activity around the Qiskit Ecosystem! …

If you’re already familiar with solving protein folding problems with Qiskit, then you are probably aware of the ProteinFoldingProblem class that was previously located in Qiskit Nature. This class will now be developed and maintained in Qiskit Research and will be removed from Qiskit Nature in the near future. The…

By Abby Mitchell, Luciano Bello, Kevin Krsulich, Matthew Treinish, Stefan Wörner, and Elena Peña Tapia Today, we’re excited to announce that Qiskit v0.39.0 has been released!

So your Qiskit code is throwing errors and you don’t know why and maybe you want to throw your laptop out the window and possibly you’re regretting the life choices that have led you up to this point… Don’t worry fellow Qiskitter — you are not alone! Writing code of…

Qiskit [kiss-kit] is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of pulses, circuits, and application modules. At least, that’s the first answer that pops up when you google “What is Qiskit.” However, answers to this question can vary a lot depending on whether you’re asking a…

By Abby Mitchell, Qiskit Developer Advocate If you’ve ever built quantum circuits with Qiskit, chances are you’ve used the circuit drawer to print out your circuit plots in either text, LaTeX, or matplotlib format. …

This blog was written by Qiskit Developer Advocate Abby Mitchell with support from Researcher Shelly Garion The Clifford Group is one of the most important sets of gates in Quantum Computing, thanks to its usefulness in Quantum Error Correction, Randomized Benchmarking, and Entanglement studies. …
