Qiskit [kiss-kit] is an open source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of pulses, circuits and algorithms.

Noise Mitigation Study and reduce the impact of noise using built-in modules for noise characterization and circuit optimization.

Quantum Algorithms Research and prototype machine learning, optimization and chemistry applications by building upon a library of quantum algorithms.

Access to circuits Access a rich set of well-studied circuits, which can be used as benchmarks, building blocks in more complex circuits, or as a tool to explore quantum computational advantage.

Qiskit accelerates the development of quantum applications by providing the complete set of tools needed for interacting with quantum systems and simulators.

Quick Start

When you are looking to start with Qiskit you have two options. You can get started locally and use your favorite development environment, or you can get started online with IBM’s hosted Jupyter Notebooks.
