Guides
######

This page summarizes the guides
that are available in addition to the extensive API documentation of this package.

All guides are written to focus on specific pieces that are part of larger
workflows. Examples of such end-to-end workflows can be found in the tutorials
hosted on the `IBM Quantum Platform
<https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/docs/tutorials>`_.

.. note::
   These guides might refer to specific Python modules when
   explaining core concepts. In general, the C API provides matching
   functionality, although it is not structured into modules.  However, the function names
   will correspond naturally and should be easy to navigate.
