The quantum computing community has grown in the past few years into a one that encompasses a wide range of users from various disciplines and sectors. Rapidly developing quantum technologies allowed researchers and developers to explore quantum computing as a practical tool to achieve their goals. In this talk I will present IBM’s recent roadmap on quantum computing systems development, where we are now with quantum computing applications in research and industry and the recent development of software and capabilities at IBM with Qiskit, an open-source quantum software development kit. At the end of the talk, I will discuss the future directions for the quantum software where we exploit both quantum and classical resources together to maximize the performance of quantum computing.

In this two-part talk, we will first overview the high-level picture of the design and analysis of quantum processors based on superconducting quantum circuits. Until recently, this was known as a tedious and complex process. However, since the introduction of Qiskit Metal (a free open-source software), the process has been simplified, automated, and sped up to where nearly anyone can design a prototype quantum processor in 20 minutes – precisely what we will do together in the second half of this talk.

This lecture introduces the basics of the calculation mechanism of quantum computing using the phenomena of quantum mechanics such as "quantum superposition" and "quantum entanglement"

At this lecture, you will be introduced to Qiskit, which is an open-source SDK to run experiments and develop quantum applications, and its application modules. This will also be an opportunity for you to learn how to use Qiskit for your research, development, and education by overviewing Qiskit's ecosystem, events, and materials.
