Qiskit
The world’s most popular software for quantum computing.
Qiskit makes it easier to get started in quantum computing. It does so through Qiskit patterns: intuitive, repeatable sets of steps for quantum workflows. These patterns are modular, and can be combined in different ways to achieve different goals.

The IBM Quantum Credits program has migrated to the recently upgraded IBM Quantum Platform, and we’re marking the occasion by giving the program some upgrades of its own. Read more: ibm.co/6042BGGTw
Ever since we gave the global research community open access to the first cloud-enabled quantum computer in 2016, we have been committed to developing quantum capabilities to facilitate high-quality research not only from IBM and its partners, but from the quantum community as a whole.
That’s why we founded the IBM Quantum Credits program. It provides top quantum researchers with free access to IBM quantum computers so they can pursue high-impact projects that further our understanding of quantum information science.
Since 2020, researchers in our credits program have been awarded over 30,000 quantum compute hours and published more than 160 peer-reviewed research papers—including publications in Nature, PRX Quantum, and IEEE Transactions. Now, we’re giving program participants even greater access to our latest capabilities so they can pursue novel, utility-scale research that will help push the field even closer to the first demonstrations of quantum advantage.
Are you a top quantum researcher who could benefit from access to IBM Quantum devices and software? Read the blog linked above to learn more about the Credits program and to see whether you qualify.

In our second post on the IBM Quantum blog this week, we're taking a look at new research from IBM and Lockheed Martin that shows how quantum methods combined with classical high-performance computing may soon enable quantum simulations beyond the capabilities of classical computing alone.
In their experiments, researchers from IBM and Lockheed Martin use a method called sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD) to simulate the open-shell molecule methylene (CH₂). Open shell molecules are relevant in many important scientific domains, but their complex electron correlations make them difficult to simulate classically. IBM believes that methods like SQD are strong candidates for near-term demonstrations of quantum advantage in the simulation of these and other complex quantum systems.

This week on the IBM Quantum blog, we’re marking the completion of “Understanding quantum information and computation,” an online education series spearheaded by IBM Quantum Technical Director for Education, John Watrous.
The series delivers an in-depth, university-level introduction to quantum computing fundamentals through 16 video lectures available for free on IBM Quantum Learning and the Qiskit YouTube channel. It is the latest example of the IBM commitment to providing free, high-quality educational resources that help make quantum computing more accessible. Be sure to share with your quantum-curious friends! www.ibm.com/quantum/blog/understanding-quantum-inf…

This week on the IBM Quantum Blog, we hear from the Quantum Optimization Work Group about their new optimization benchmarking paper and their work developing the Quantum Optimization Benchmarking Library (QOBLIB): www.ibm.com/quantum/blog/quantum-optimization-benc…
The blog dives deep into the important role of benchmarking in the search for quantum advantage, and also explores some of the unique challenges that come with developing benchmarks in the field of optimization. However, its main goal is to drive readers to the open-source QOBLIB repository, which provides the community with an “intractable decathlon” of ten optimization problems that become classically challenging even at relatively small problem sizes.
By working together to test quantum and classical methods against these problems and compiling results in QOBLIB, we can accelerate the journey to quantum advantage in optimization. If you have experience with optimization algorithms, visit the QOBLIB repository to learn more about how you—yes, you!—can contribute to this effort: git.zib.de/qopt/qoblib-quantum-optimization-benchm…

Important changes to Qiskit documentation and learning resources
medium.com/qiskit/important-changes-to-qiskit-docu…
Today, we’re announcing important changes to Qiskit.org that you should be aware of. Starting on November 29, 2023, Qiskit Documentation and Qiskit educational resources will live on IBM Quantum Platform and will be removed from Qiskit.org. We will be slowly moving content over until then.
