About Lesson
- Superconducting Qubits: IBM’s quantum computers use superconducting circuits cooled to near absolute zero, where quantum effects like superposition and entanglement can be harnessed.
- Cloud-Based Quantum Access: IBM offers free and paid access to real quantum computers through the IBM Quantum Platform, allowing users to run quantum circuits via the cloud.
- Qiskit Programming Framework: IBM developed Qiskit, an open-source Python library for building, simulating, and executing quantum algorithms on IBM quantum hardware and simulators.
- Educational Focus: IBM actively supports quantum education through initiatives like the IBM Quantum Challenge, Qiskit Global Summer School, and a variety of beginner-friendly tutorials and notebooks.
- Roadmap and Scalability: IBM has a public quantum roadmap aiming to build scalable quantum systems, including processors like Eagle, Osprey, and the upcoming Condor, with increasing qubit counts and performance.
