Quantum Computing with Qiskit
Sep 29, 2020, 12:00 - 1:00 PM
Dear friends,
QSEC’s Computing subgroup will host a seminar next Tuesday at 12pm with a hands-on tutorial of QisKit, a framework with tools for creating and manipulating quantum programs and running them on prototype quantum devices on IBM Q Experience or on local simulators. Please feel free to join or distribute the flyer attached to anyone who may be interested.
Title: Quantum Computing with Qiskit
Speaker: Ian Morris, GMU Physics & Astronomy
Abstract:
Curious about quantum computing but never had a chance to learn? Come to this hands-on tutorial and see quantum circuits in action!
Qiskit (qiss-kit) is an opensource Software Development Kit created by IBM that provides users access to real quantum computers to run their quantum circuits on. With Qiskit, users are able to execute their quantum circuit code on various quantum hardware architectures ranging from superconducting qubits to trapped ions, access a large set of premade circuits which can serve as benchmarks or building blocks for more complex circuits, and study the impact of noise on quantum circuits using built-in modules for noise characterization and optimization. In addition, Qiskit provides its users with a library of quantum algorithms from which users can draw on to research real world applications from machine learning to chemistry, as well as circuit tutorials, a free online textbook, YouTube explanations, and a blog featuring quantum applications that make learning how to use the SDK very simple. Qiskit’s easy to use interface enables users to start creating and implementing circuits immediately.
The computing subgroup meets weekly at 12pm Tuesdays. If you are interested in staying up to date, please join the Slack channel at https://join.slack.com/t/masonquantumcomputing/shared_invite/zt-gof00ck7-9H~sciLYg0r8nGpf5R3xnQ
Thanks,
