Introduction to Qiskit workshop

Qiskit is an open-source python software development kit for working with quantum computers at the level of pulses, circuits and application modules. Qiskit accelerates the development of quantum applications by providing the complete set of tools needed for interacting with quantum systems and simulators. This workshop will run through the basics of Qiskit, how to build and run quantum circuits and programs, as well as providing an overview of the application modules, which will be discussed in more detail in provided recordings. This workshop will be delivered by Anna Phan, Australia Community Lead, IBM Quantum.
