Beginners guide: Practical Quantum Computing with IBM Qiskit

DISCLAIMER: This course requires you to download and install Anaconda from anaconda website and install IBM Qiskit package using anaconda prompt as described in the IBM qiskit website. If you are a Udemy Business user, please check with your employer before downloading software. Hello and welcome to my new course The Dummies guide to Practical Quantum Computing with IBM Qiskit.

Our current classical computing technology is based on bits or binary digits 1 and 0. 1 for ON and 0 OFF. Even though it have two states, a bit can exist in only one state at a time.

Just like a coin having two faces head and tail. NOTE: In classical computers a programmer can simply WRITE HIGH LEVEL CODE AND RUN it. But for Quantum Computers we have to DESIGN CIRCUITS for performing specific tasks.

Quantum computing concept is entirely different from classical one. It use the quantum mechanical property of tiny sub atomic particles like electrons to perform computation. Instead of 1 and 0, a qubit or quantum bit uses the spin position 'up' and 'down' of electrons.
