Getting Started
Sanity Check
Your first quantum circuit
Goal
Verify your environment works by creating and running a simple quantum circuit. If this works, you're ready for the rest of the workshop.
What You Will Do
- 1Open the notebook in Google Colab
- 2Run the setup cell to install Qiskit (takes ~30 seconds)
- 3Run the circuit cell to create your first quantum circuit
- 4See the output. Congratulations, you've run quantum code!
Exercise
5 minutes
Open in Google ColabSuccess Criteria
- Qiskit installed without errors
- Circuit diagram displays
- Simulation runs and shows results
Troubleshooting
- Installation errors? Try "Runtime → Restart and run all"
- Slow to load? Colab may need to allocate resources. Wait 30 seconds.
- Still stuck? Raise your hand or check the Help page
