Quantum Computing in Practice with Qiskit® and IBM Quantum Experience®
By :

Before you can start working on your quantum programs, you must have a Python environment to execute your code. The examples in this book can be run both on your local machine by using the Qiskit® developer environment provided by IBM Quantum® and in an online environment on IBM Quantum Experience®.
In this chapter, we will take a look at both environments, get you a login account on IBM Quantum Experience®, and install a local version of Qiskit®. We will also discuss the fast-moving environment that is open source Qiskit®, and how to keep your local environment up to date.
We will cover the following recipes:
So, let's get started. This chapter, and its contents, is pretty important as it provides you with the foundation on which you can start building your Qiskit® future. Do spend a moment or two setting this up, and then get going with the recipes in this book to get started with quantum programming on Qiskit®. To get you started quickly, you can also grab and run the sample recipe code that is provided with this book.
