Introduction course

These notebooks are the source files for the Introduction course of the Qiskit Textbook.

Important

The Qiskit Textbook has been superseded by IBM Quantum Learning. These source files are no longer maintained and may contain errors.

Overview

This short course contains around 3 hours of content and is aimed at self-learners from all backgrounds (technical and non-technical). The aim of this course is to give a solid understanding of the principles behind quantum computing, focusing on developing intuition. After this course, you will have a fair understanding of quantum computing and Qiskit, as well as a short project demonstrating it. You should then be able to jump straight into many of the other courses in this textbook when they are ready, including traditional algorithms and protocols, near term quantum algorithms, and quantum machine learning.
