This jupyter notebook is a supplementary resource to the author’s working paper Quantum Computing: An Overview. The paper aims to provide an accessible overview of quantum computing. We give high-level explanations of the key quantum properties that are leveraged by a quantum computer, along with the quantum mathematical formalism involved and references for further reading.

The notebook has the following sections:

1. IBM Quantum Experience account

2. One qubit circuit

   2.1. Quantum Coin Game

3. Bell states circuit

   3.1. Run on a quantum simulator

   3.2. Run on a real quantum processor

Install requirements locally (ideally, in a virtual environment):

pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the notebook:

jupyter notebook
