Overview of this book

IBM Quantum Experience® is a leading platform for programming quantum computers and implementing quantum solutions directly on the cloud. This book will help you get up to speed with programming quantum computers and provide solutions to the most common problems and challenges. You’ll start with a high-level overview of IBM Quantum Experience® and Qiskit®, where you will perform the installation while writing some basic quantum programs. This introduction puts less emphasis on the theoretical framework and more emphasis on recent developments such as Shor’s algorithm and Grover’s algorithm. Next, you’ll delve into Qiskit®, a quantum information science toolkit, and its constituent packages such as Terra, Aer, Ignis, and Aqua. You’ll cover these packages in detail, exploring their benefits and use cases. Later, you’ll discover various quantum gates that Qiskit® offers and even deconstruct a quantum program with their help, before going on to compare Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) and Universal Fault-Tolerant quantum computing using simulators and actual hardware. Finally, you’ll explore quantum algorithms and understand how they differ from classical algorithms, along with learning how to use pre-packaged algorithms in Qiskit® Aqua. By the end of this quantum computing book, you’ll be able to build and execute your own quantum programs using IBM Quantum Experience® and Qiskit® with Python.

Running Grover's algorithm as an Aqua function

At the end of Chapter 9, Grover's Search Algorithm, we promised that there was an easier way to include Grover's search algorithm in your quantum circuits. In this recipe, we will achieve the same results, but without having to build the circuit from scratch; Qiskit Aqua will set up the oracle, build the Grover circuit, and run it for us.

Just like importing and calling Python classes and methods for various things, such as from math import pi to get access to a numerical representation of , you can do the same with Qiskit® components. Why reinvent the wheel and build your implementation of the Grover search algorithm when it is already included with Qiskit®?

Getting ready

The sample code for this recipe can be found here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Quantum-Computing-in-Practice-with-Qiskit-and-IBM-Quantum-Experience/blob/master/Chapter10/ch10_r1_grover_aqua.py.
