Practical Quantum Computing with IBM Qiskit for Beginners

Updated in May 2025. This course now features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. This course introduces you to quantum computing, focusing on IBM's Qiskit framework. You'll start with the basics of quantum mechanics, install and test Qiskit 0.23.0, and then explore qubits, learning how they differ from classical bits. Finally, you'll implement quantum gates like the Pauli X, Y, and Z gates. As you progress, the course of…
