💻 Code Examples

Hello Quantum World

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit_aer import AerSimulator

# Create a quantum circuit
qc = QuantumCircuit(1, 1)
qc.h(0)  # Hadamard gate creates superposition
qc.measure(0, 0)

# Run on simulator
simulator = AerSimulator()
job = simulator.run(qc, shots=1000)
result = job.result()
counts = result.get_counts(qc)
print(counts)  # {'0': ~500, '1': ~500}

Bell State (Entanglement)

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit

# Create entangled qubits
qc = QuantumCircuit(2, 2)
qc.h(0)      # Superposition
qc.cx(0, 1)  # Entanglement
qc.measure_all()

# Result: Only |00⟩ and |11⟩ outcomes!
