Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll go hands-on with the basics of quantum theory to prepare yourself for building your first quantum applications. You’ll use familiar Python tools to work through the basic building blocks for constructing quantum circuits, as well as exploring quantum gates and how they transform qubits, the basic units of quantum information.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

His current work is helping customers use AWS services to implement machine learning solutions at scale. He also has a passion to educate in the use of quantum computing.

prerequisites

The project is an introduction to quantum computing for those who are comfortable coding in Python at an intermediate level and have had some basic, hands-on experience of Python data science tools. Some familiarity with complex numbers, vectors, matrices and linear algebra would be a bonus, but we review these topics in code.
