Worksheet 1 – Quantum Circuit Simulator Level 1

What is a Quantum Circuit?

A simple quantum circuit is a collection of qubits and a list of instructions that act on those qubits. Let’s try the activities below to simulate your first quantum circuit.

Activity 1: The Quantum Machine

Start off your quantum computing journey with the Quantum Machine (insert link here). Follow Q-Bot’s tutorials and complete your first quantum simulation!

Activity 2: Other online simulators

Explore different quantum circuit simulators, like:

• Quirk – a drag-and-drop quantum circuit simulator
• IBM Quantum Composer from IBM
• Qiskit: an open-source Python module for building quantum circuits and simulating operations on qubits
