Motivation

This project provides an local execution environment for Qiskit simulator and frontend for IBM quantum computers i.e. a local alternative to IBM Quantum Lab. It uses a Jupyter Notebook as a frontend for Qiskit simulator. Both these components are enclosed in a Docker image, so its installation and de-installation is a breeze.

How to use it?

• Install Docker on your local machine.
• Run the following

    docker run --rm --name "qiskit" -ti -v ${PWD}:/home/jovyan/work -p 8888:8888 ghcr.io/pzktit/dockerizedqiskit
  

• then you will see something like that

• Open one of the provided links. You should see Jupyter Notebook web interface. Contents of you local directory is accessible in the work folder.

  

Now you can experiment with quantum devices.

Usefull links

• Jupyter Notebooks are similar MathCAD or Mathematica interface. Here you can find a gentle tutorial how to interact with the notebook.
• Qiskit Tutorials are available on GitHub.

    git clone https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-tutorials
    cd qiskit-tutorials/tutorials
    docker run --rm --name "qiskit" -ti -v ${PWD}:/home/jovyan/work -p 8888:8888 ghcr.io/pzktit/dockerizedqiskit
  

  Please use them in the following order: 1) circuits, 2) circuits_advanced, 3) simulators, 4) algorithms, 5) operators, 6) textbook.

Advanced

You can customize a Qiskit docker image on your own. Please visit Dockerized Qiskit repository.

Happy hacking ;)
