Introduction to Qiskit | Coding with Qiskit 1.x | Programming on Quantum Computers - YouTube
Transcript:
(00:01) [Music] the point of this YouTube series is to get you up to speed with the latest developments in quantum computers for your own work the foundation and focus will be on kissk 1 an open source and freely available software development kit that allows you to program useful Quantum computational workflows all the way from building Quantum circuits and designing Quantum algorithms to submitting them to real quantum computers and orchestrating large scale complex workloads as some of you may know kkit has been around for 6 years
(00:33) already and there have even been previous iterations of the coding with kkit Series in fact it was through the first season that I got my start in Quantum Computing so it's really cool to be hosting this series now so why are we back again in just the past year or so we've seen major developments in Quantum Computing most notably with the onset of the utility era where quantum computers have now reached a level of scale and reliability such that researchers can now use them as a legitimate tool for scientific exploration as highlight in a
(01:00) research nature paper by IBM Quantum and you can learn more about it in another video on this channel linked Below in the utility era Quantum computational workflows will only grow in scale and complexity already we're seeing high impact scientific papers that use every Cubit on IBM's 127 Cubit chips thousands of gates in a circuit and tens to hundreds of thousands of circuits in a workflow we're seeing the proliferation of methods like circuit cutting and air mitigation that require fluid orchestration between multiple classical
(01:29) and quantum computers simply the technology has evolved dramatically and using these larger systems can be quite different than the five or seven cubba chips we might be used to to support this new era we graduated kuit from its development phase to version 1.0 with 1.0 onwards we expect kid get to become much more stable efficient and the developer ready software backbone for Quantum computational workflows and so as described in detail on the blog post link below kkit 1.
(01:57) 0 will specifically emphasize several new values one it'll be highly performant we've seen steady improvements over the years but kit 1.0 will be the best version yet it'll be faster and take up less memory making convenient and fast a transpile circuits with 100 plus cubits and thousands of gates two it'll be leaner we've removed the meta package architecture spun off some packages like kk.
(02:21) algorithms into a separate one and deprecated modules like kk. opflow to make it more focused and maintainable three kidk 1.0 will be more stable in particular we've gone from promising bug fixing support for 6 months in the pre 1.0 versions to 18 months of stable support without breaking changes feature-wise there's a lot coming too first Primitives in the form of sampler and estimator are now the access model for Quantum Hardware this is improving upon the backend.
(02:49) run method that you might be familiar with from the pre 1.0 versions Primitives will ensure that access to Quantum Hardware is consistent and reliable second kitkit 1.0 is ready for dynamic circuits enabling complex logic within a Quantum circuit to more efficiently generate entangled States teleport longrange Gates and pave the path toward air correction finally we're making it easy to build on kkit it'll be straightforward to for instance build your own transpiler plug-in extend kkit capabilities for your own needs and
(03:18) share your code throughout the kkit ecosystem we'll be highlighting all of these new aspects throughout the series but our first stop in the next video will be to install kkit this video will be useful for experiencing users and newcomers alike so be sure to check it out in the meantime let us know what you'd be excited to learn more about and we'll take into account your feedback as we plan the rest of the series thanks for watching [Music]
