Should You Learn Cirq or Qiskit for Quantum Programming?

[@imsleepy620]

I'm currently a high schooler and I'm thinking about doing a senior research project on quantum neuroevolutionary optimization of neural networks. Watching this keeps me motivated. Rn I'm going through some introductory quantum mechanics textbooks and the Qiskit quantum computing textbook, and so far, it's been pretty approachable. Thanks for this great content!

@imsleepy620 how was it?

Thanks!

You're welcome! which one did you pick??

9:11 Comments about Microsoft Q# (QDK) As far as I know, the QDK forces you to write only the quantum circuit part in Q#. That is, you can write the other part, such as handlers, in Python.

[@seanjoe4852]

I'm still new to field of computer science/ Software engineering, and I love your channel for giving insightful view of what is ahead of in the future of data science.

[@mimosveta]

I've only heard of qiskit, and I like it, this is first time I hear about cirq, so I did a quick search, and there's no tutorials, no nothing. and sure, you don't want to queue for a quantum computer, but you wanna know you can run some code on quantum computer. so seems that winner is clear at this point. it's like qiskit has landed on the moon, mars, and pluto, while cirq is like "you have to pay to see my rocket"

[@therockriders2759]

I am using the qiskit textbook and after studying it. I found out that people with less background in linear algebra and python will find it a little bit tough especially for doing mathematical proofs for each algorithm. But, overall it's one of the good resources available on the internet for getting started with quantum computing.

[@pinakisen1949]

Definitely a great video for beginners in Quantum Computing to decide among frameworks. I feel like Tensorflow Quantum being implemented on Cirq Circuits gives very less flexibility to tweak with the model which takes away the beauty of Quantum computing and makes it more similar to classical machine learning, which is definitely good for developers but not so good for Quantum researchers, I think. Otherwise Qiskit and Cirq both are quite similar. But I prefer Pennylane above both of them, it gives a different level of flexibility in QML problems 🤩🤩. P.S. - It's my personal experience and can vary from person to person. 😅😅

[@xiaoyang]

agree, pennylane is just good in a lot of ways that qiskit don't have. but I feel like if I am a pro in vqa or QML for a long-term research project, I prefer qiskit because when get used with Qiskit, there are so many good features to play with.

[@devsauce]

That book you have "Working effectively with legacy code". Any good ?

[@imranphysicist4749]

Hello quantum computing pretty i have some question please reply

[@mjkalasky2775]

I suppose you could always go with both. One advantage I've heard about with Cirq that I'm not sure Qiskit has is the ability to function with qudits, or higher-level qubits.

[@BrandonDriver]

This is an excellent video. Well done Anastasia!

[@TheinLinAung]

I read Qiskit textbook until Chapter 3 (my background: engineering student, have experience in programming, no experience in QM or QC). I think the difficulty of the textbook goes up exponentially after Chapter 2.

[@TheinLinAung]

@@Anastasia-Marchenkova honestly, I'm still trying to 😅. The most difficult part is thinking how to implement a quantum algorithm using available number of qubits, gates and existing circuit blocks (such as QFT or QPE). Even though I understand the principles of building blocks of QC by themselves, going from the conception of a new algorithm to a working implementation is a challenge since the thinking process is entirely different from classical programming. I guess I'm still in the early phase of learning and I'll try to do more projects like you said in the video!

[@JohnnySpider]

Wow, this is an amazing video! I find it great how you communicate so clearly quantum computing topics. Anyone can see how excited you're talking about those. I must confess that, before knowing your channel, I truly believed one could only learn QC with a master/PhD degree. It isn't easy (actually still pretty hard), but at least seems a little more achievable. I want to start studying soon thanks to your recommendations. Hope one day to be part of the awesome QC community!

[@JohnnySpider]

Omg, can't believe you read my message 😄

[@muslimGirl84]

I vote for Qiskit. It is more understandable, well documented and IBM created an amazibg Qiskit Community. I consiser it as my comfort zone. I also like pennylane for QML.

[@jasperwilliams4651]

The Qiskit textbook is great for learning the basics of quantum computing. However, it falls short on explaining the quantum algorithms to mere mortals.

[@shivanshusiyanwal296]

Woah, this is very informative! btw, IBM just released Qiskit Metal for simulating superconducting qubits, have you tried that yet?

[@subhasish661411]

Qiskit also has decent machine learning support with pytorch connectors.

[@nitink9879]

Hey Anastasia, people are saying that quantum computing is a scam. For example, I have read a blog online which goes like this "According to physicist Mikhail Dyakonov, a useful quantum computer 'needs to process a set of continuous parameters that is larger than the number of subatomic particles in the observable universe' ". I having passion in quantum computing, on reading this, got a bit demotivated. What's your opinion ?

[@henleycheung3615]

looking forward to more about Qiskit by using examples ?

[@necbranduc]

I liked the video at 0:01.

[@jagandwarampudi]

Kudos to your explanation! I'm a CS major interested in Quantum Computing. I would love to learn all from the basic concepts, how hard it might get rather than starting with direct implemented functions. Do you think Robert Loreto's book is a good start for me? Please let me know if you think of a better path

[@sanori-cs]

One more Qiskit's benefit, IMHO, is the Bloch sphere visualization

Hello ma'am.. I am also interested in quantum computing...but my subject is chemistry.. so is it easy to learn it deeply to me?

[@rolfs5854]

Developing quantum code on a simulator is greate. But at the end of the day you need to test the code on a real headware to see it it really works.

[@rolfs5854]

@@Anastasia-Marchenkova Real chips have more limitations currently, yes this is the point. Also, errors happen at real chips. That can be simulated somehow but it is still a simulation. This is the reason why a program developed on a simulator probably fails on real hardware. But I agree. To learn quantum computing a simulator is enough. I am new in quantum computing, but I learned to program PS3 cell BE chips on a simulator. This was a great experience because I was able to "look into the chip". But later on, real hardware there were some surprises. So I am sure on quantum computing also surprises will occur when you move from simulator to hardware.
