Look inside
Get tangled up in quantum computing! Action at a Distance Corporation, a consortium of venture capitalists, believes the time to invest in quantum computing startups is now. As the consortium’s resident researcher, your task is to understand the power of quantum computing.
You’ll learn to recognize normalized quantum states of two qubits, a key skill in implementing quantum algorithms. You’ll get familiar with the Controlled Not (CNOT) gate, vital to the construction of important, entangled states, and you’ll observe what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance” as you program the (famous!) entangled Bell states. Using the IBM Quantum Composer, you’ll visualize and animate quantum circuits, gaining insight into handling gates and their outcomes.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
This liveProject is for anyone with basic algebra and geometry skills, basic complex number skills, basic Python programming skills, and a strong interest in learning about the physical principles and techniques of quantum computer programming using IBM Qiskit. To begin these liveProjects you’ll need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- Python programming basics
- Basic algebra (equations and surds)
- Basic linear algebra (vectors and matrices)
- Basic geometry (diagrams and angles)
- Basic complex numbers (format and simple manipulation)
- Basic probability (using fractions and normalization)
- Basic classical computing
- Basics of quantum computing and Qiskit
- Use the command line in a terminal
- Create a virtual environment in Python using Conda or otherwise
- Install packages into a Python virtual environment, using pip
- Code and run Python programs using Jupyter Notebook
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn core quantum computing skills including creating, visualizing, and animating quantum circuits, and you’ll understand the role of quantum computing in the industrial world.
- Construct and program two-qubit quantum states the CNOT quantum gate using IBM Qiskit
- Quantum entanglement (a fundamental quantum concept that Einstein famously referred to as "spooky action at a distance")
- IBM Quantum Computer
- Investigate and report on important quantum vocabulary
