The new IBM Quantum Platform is here!The current experience will sunset on July 1. Prepare for the transition

Qiskit

Qiskit is the world’s most popular software stack for quantum computing. Build circuits, leverage Qiskit functions, transpile with AI tools, and execute workloads in an optimized runtime environment.

Get started

Qiskit is the highest-performing quantum SDK

A new open-source suite of tests from leading universities, national labs, and IBM compares the relative speed and quality of quantum frameworks. Based on the results of these tests, Qiskit is the highest performing quantum software development kit for building and transpiling quantum circuits.
