Qiskit

Qiskit is an open-source quantum computing software development framework developed by IBM. It provides tools for creating, simulating, and running quantum programs on both simulators and real quantum hardware. The framework includes libraries for quantum circuit design, algorithms, and hardware integration.

Also known as: QISKit, IBM Qiskit, Quantum Information Science Kit, Qiskit SDK, Qiskit Framework

Why learn Qiskit?

Developers should learn Qiskit when working in quantum computing research, algorithm development, or applications in fields like cryptography, optimization, and machine learning. It is essential for prototyping quantum algorithms, accessing IBM's quantum processors via the cloud, and gaining hands-on experience with near-term quantum devices.
