Quantum computing with Qiskit on OpenShift | DevNation 2020
Channel: Red Hat Developer
Date: 2020-09-16

Speakers: Parul Singh, Red Hat, Ismael Faro, IBM, & Luciano Bello, IBM

This presentation demonstrates the steps required to enable quantum computing workflows on a Kubernetes cluster using the IBM quantum system as a backend.

The first part of the presentation covers the Qiskit operator and the steps to create a development environment for implementing quantum circuits with few clicks using the Qiskit operator. Qiskit operator launches an integrated Jupyter Notebook with Qiskit (for implementing quantum algorithms as circuits) and all the necessary Python packages for visualizing the results. This operator automates the installation and configuration of the development environment, ensuring all package versions are compatible and all required dependencies are met.

In the second part of the presentation, we will demonstrate a quantum computing introduction using open source Qiskit framework. We are going to start for some basic quantum theory and how it is applied and works in current quantum devices, Then we will move on to show the basic concepts about quantum circuits that are the base of any quantum program. Finally, we are going to write your first program and run it in a real quantum device - and do it all using the Qiskit operator capabilities.
