Summary

In this chapter, we have explored some of the frameworks and platforms that can enable us to implement, simulate, and run quantum algorithms. We have also learned how to work with two of these frameworks: Qiskit and PennyLane, which are very widely used. In addition to this, we have learned how to use the IBM Quantum platform to execute quantum circuits on real hardware, sending them from either Qiskit or PennyLane.

With the skills that you have gained in this chapter, you are now able to implement and execute your own circuits. Moreover, you are now well-prepared to read the rest of the book, since we will be using Qiskit and PennyLane extensively.

In the next chapter, we will take our first steps in putting all this knowledge into practice. We shall dive into the world of quantum optimization!
