6 Qiskit Questions to Get Started with Quantum Computing
These questions will help you get hands-on experience with IBM Qiskit.
We just finished solving six important mathematical questions to understand Quantum computing better.
It’s now time to get hands-on and code.
Here are six questions that we will solve in the coming weeks to learn Qiskit.
If you’re new to Qiskit, it is an open-source, Python-based, high-performance software stack for quantum computing developed by IBM Research.
Let’s begin!
Question 1
Create a 1-qubit quantum circuit that:
Starts in the state |0>
Applies a Hadamard gate
Measures the qubit
Write the Qiskit code and simulate the circuit using a Qiskit simulator.
Question 2
Create a 1-qubit quantum circuit that:
Applies an X gate
Applies a Z gate
Measures the qubit
Write the Qiskit code and simulate the circuit using a Qiskit simulator.
Question 3
Create a 2-qubit circuit that prepares the following Bell state. Measure both qubits using a Qiskit simulator and show the results.
Question 4
Find the sequence of X, Y, and Z gates that transforms the quantum state |+⟩ to i|-⟩ . Verify the results using a Qiskit simulator.
Question 5
Create a three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state in Qiskit. Measure and simulate the circuit using a Qiskit simulator.
Question 6
Create a three-qubit W-state in Qiskit. Measure and simulate the circuit using a Qiskit simulator.
If you’re completely new to Qiskit, start with these lessons and then try solving these questions.
Stay tuned for the upcoming solutions. See you soon!
