How to start using cloud quantum computing services
- [Instructor] To understand how we work with qubits, we need to consider some more programming terms. First is a QPU, which is a quantum processing unit. Second is a gate, which is a quantum operation. I kind of think of it like a method, although, that's not what it's often called, but I think of it that way. A quantum program is a circuit, and it's a series of operations or gates that's performed by a QPU on qubits. As with qubit visualizations, most vendor development tools include circuit visualizers so that you can understand the process. So that they include basically both qubit visualizers and circuit visualizers. So to have an example of a quantum program, we're going to just take a look at, this is from a training library and has a Pythonic file. Many of the quantum academic implementations are similar to this. So it's kind of a generic good starting point. You can see online two, we initialize two qubits.…
