How do I start learning quantum computing?
What you need to know to get started with quantum computing
- Programming. To get started with quantum, you will probably need to know some programming basics.
- Math. Math, probably the first thing that might drive someone away from getting into quantum computing.
- Physics/ mechanics.
- Curiosity.

What is Qiskit advocate?
The Qiskit advocate program is a global initiative to support the most active members of the Qiskit community. We work together to grow the Qiskit community through organizing events, making open source contributions to Qiskit code, creating educational content, and more.
How can I learn quantum computing with Qiskit?
Qiskit is an open-source software development kit and community dedicated to writing code on real quantum hardware. We’ve released tons of learning resources, from our Coding with Qiskit video series and our Learn Quantum Computation using Qiskit textbook to our free, comprehensive Introduction to Quantum Computing and Quantum Hardware course.
Can you use Qiskit as an independent course?
The textbook can be followed as an independent course, however, it has been designed to accompany a traditional university course. The textbook shows students how to use Qiskit to experiment with quantum algorithms and hardware, and uses this to reinforce their understanding.
What can I do with the IBM Qiskit textbook?
The textbook shows students how to use Qiskit to experiment with quantum algorithms and hardware, and uses this to reinforce their understanding. If you are using the Qiskit Textbook in your course, you can join the IBM Quantum Educators Program.
What kind of pulses are used in Qiskit?
Qiskit uses a default set of pulses to represent the operations in your quantum circuit, but you can also tweak these pulses to perform real experiments on quantum hardware or try to create custom gates of your own.
