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.

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.
