Instead, a minimal re-implementation of basic features is available as MicroQiskit,[11] which is made to be easy to port to alternative platforms.

[12] Examples include the source code behind scientific studies that use Qiskit,[13] as well as a set of exercises to help people to learn the basics of quantum programming.

The central goal of Qiskit is to build a software stack that makes it easier for anyone to use quantum computers, regardless of their skill level or area of interest; Qiskit allows users to design experiments and applications and run them on real quantum computers and/or classical simulators.

The element Aer provides high-performance quantum computing simulators with realistic noise models.

In the following example, a local simulator is used.The final print statement here will show the results returned by the backend.

This is a Python dictionary that describes the bit strings obtained from multiple runs of the quantum circuit.

In the quantum circuit used in this example, the bit strings '00' and '11' should be the only possible results, and should occur with equal probability.

[24] The element Ignis provides tools for quantum hardware verification, noise characterization, and error correction.

As of version 0.9.0, released on 2nd April 2021, Qiskit Aqua has been deprecated with its support ending and eventual archival being no sooner than 3 months from that date.

The code comprises chemistry drivers, which when provided with a molecular configuration will return one and two-body integrals as well as other data that is efficiently computed classically.

This output data from a driver can then be used as input in Qiskit Nature that contains logic which is able to translate this into a form that is suitable for quantum algorithms.
