Hands-on Journey to Quantum Computing with IBM

Meet RasQberry, a 3D-printed quantum computer powered by a Raspberry Pi. This DIY project makes abstract quantum concepts tangible and connects you to real hardware.

Hands-on Journey to Quantum Computing with IBM
#1about 6 minutes

The origin and exponential power of quantum computing

Richard Feynman's original idea for quantum computers arose from the immense difficulty classical computers face when trying to simulate quantum systems.

#2about 3 minutes

Key applications and developer roles in quantum

Quantum computers are expected to excel in specific areas like chemistry and machine learning, creating roles for kernel, algorithm, and model developers.

#3about 3 minutes

The roadmap for frictionless quantum development

The development roadmap aims to increase qubit count and quality while enabling frictionless integration for application developers through tools like Qiskit Runtime.

#4about 6 minutes

Learning quantum concepts with interactive games

The "Fun with Quantum" repository provides hands-on games to illustrate fundamental concepts like superposition, interference, and entanglement using multi-qubit systems.

#5about 6 minutes

Using the IBM Quantum Composer on real hardware

The IBM Quantum Experience provides a graphical composer to build quantum circuits and run them on both ideal simulators and real, publicly available quantum computers.

#6about 5 minutes

Programming quantum circuits with the Qiskit SDK

Circuits created in the graphical composer can be automatically translated into Qiskit code, allowing for programmatic execution and exploration within a Jupyter Notebook environment.

#7about 5 minutes

Building a RasQberry quantum computer model at home

RasQberry is a 3D-printed, functional model of an IBM quantum computer powered by a Raspberry Pi that can run Qiskit simulators and connect to real quantum hardware.
