Getting Started with Quantum Programming
summary
Hands-on demo of quantum circuits using Qiskit, PyQuil/Quil, Cirq, ProjectQ and Q# running in Docker/Binder with qutip for Bloch sphere animations. Examples execute a Hadamard + measurement 10,000 times to show ~50/50 outcomes, build a two-qubit Bell state (entanglement gives only 00 or 11), and implement a quantum Galton board (three decision nodes → 8 paths) whose statevector yields the expected binomial-like counts. Simulators return either statevectors or shot counts; a 16 GB machine comfortably simulates up to ~26 qubits.
