Notes and Thoughts

 

Classical Quantum Simulators

Please install and become familiar with IBM's qiskit or Google's cirq quantum simulation software before the end of the first week of class.  I suggest working within the anaconda environment and python using jupyter notebooks (for version compatibility reasons).

While we will not be using actual quantum computers (either local or via the cloud), the physics understanding and quantum circuit design in this class can be acquired using classical quantum simulators.
