ABSTRACT
The first talk will provide an overview on Qiskit, the leading software library and framework for quantum computing. Qiskit includes libraries to support front-end description of quantum algorithms and applications, back-ends which include interfaces to actual quantum computers (IBM Q), simulators for simulating quantum programs on classical computers - with and without simulation of quantum noise, and all other software modules and tools needed in between. Qiskit forms a lively center of interest for developers and users. Originated and led by IBM, it now has a highly collaborative, worldwide team of enthusiasts, contributing code and engaging in discussions on any and all aspects of quantum computing.
