Since August 2023, this repository is archived as all the qiskit PyPI metapackage infrastructure and documentation was moved to Qiskit/qiskit (formerly Qiskit/qiskit-terra). See RFC0011 for details. |
Qiskit is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of circuits, algorithms, and application modules.
The best way of installing qiskit is by using pip:
$ pip install qiskitSee install Qiskit for detailed instructions, how to use virtual environments, and build from source standalone versions of the individual Qiskit elements and components.
The Qiskit project used to be made up of many components. However, it is now only comprised of the Qiskit Terra project and the Qiskit meta-package contained in this repository only installs that.
If you are interested in using quantum services, you can check out the Providers page for the list of available providers that Qiskit supports.
