Qiskit addons

Qiskit addons are a collection of research capabilities for enabling algorithm discovery at the utility scale. These capabilities build on Qiskit's performant foundation of tools for creating and running quantum algorithms. They are provided as modular software components that can plug into a workflow to scale or design new quantum algorithms.

Addons for post-processing

Sample-based quantum diagonalization

Sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD) classically post-processes noisy quantum samples to yield more accurate eigenvalue estimations of quantum system Hamiltonians, for example in chemistry applications.
