Qiskit Terra

A solid foundation for quantum computing

GitHub

About

Qiskit Terra provides the foundational roots for our software stack. Within Terra is a set of tools for composing quantum programs at the level of circuits and pulses, optimizing them for the constraints of a particular physical quantum processor, and managing the batched execution of experiments on remote-access backends. Terra is modularly constructed, simplifying the addition of extensions for circuit optimizations and backends. We welcome your contributions!
