QISKit overview

----------
|
|
|
|
QISKit is a collection of software for working with short depth
|
|
quantum circuits and building near term applications and experiments
|
|
on quantum computers. In QISKit, a quantum program is an array of
|
|
quantum circuits. The program workflow consists of three stages:
|
|
Build, Compile, and Run. Build allows you to make different quantum
|
|
circuits that represent the problem you are solving. Compile allows
|
|
you to rewrite them to run on different backends (simulators/real
|
|
chips of different quantum volumes, sizes, fidelity, etc). Run
|
|
launches the jobs. After the jobs have been run, the data is
|
|
collected. There are methods for putting this data together, depending
|
|
on the program. This either gives you the answer you wanted or allows
|
|
you to make a better program for the next instance.

Project Overview
|
|
----------------
|
|
The QISKit project comprises:
|
|
|
|
* `QISKit SDK <https://github.com/QISKit/qiskit-sdk-py>`_: Python software
|
|
development kit for writing quantum computing experiments, programs, and
|
|
applications.
|
|
|
|
* `QISKit API <https://github.com/QISKit/qiskit-api-py>`_: A thin Python
|
|
wrapper around the Quantum Experience HTTP API that enables you to
|
|
connect and and execute quantum programs.
|
|
|
|
* `QISKit OpenQASM <https://github.com/QISKit/qiskit-openqasm>`_: Contains
|
|
specifications, examples, documentation, and tools for the OpenQASM
|
|
intermediate representation.
|
|
|
|
* `QISKit Tutorial <https://github.com/QISKit/qiskit-tutorial>`_: A
|
|
collection of Jupyter notebooks using QISKit.
