Documentation

Welcome to the community-hosted documentation mirror for Qiskit – a popular open-source SDK for quantum computing. You can find recent Qiskit documentation similar to the original IBM site but without geo-blocking restrictions.

Get started with Hello World

Development workflow

A framework for breaking down domain-specific problems and software capabilities in stages:

  1. Map the problem to quantum circuits and operators
  2. Optimize for target hardware
  3. Execute on target hardware
  4. Post-process results

API reference

Guidance on how to use key APIs:

  • Qiskit SDK API – Open-source toolkit for useful quantum computing.
  • Qiskit Runtime – The platform to execute, manage, and optimize quantum computing programs in real time.
  • Qiskit Transpiler Service – Transpilation services in the cloud, including AI-enhanced transpiler passes.

Site content is based on the official GitHub repository Qiskit/documentation. Backend source code is largely based on the documentation-preview Docker image by IBM, with custom modifications. You can find the whole project in the GitHub repository qotlabs/qiskit-documentation.
