IBM Quantum Computing Roadmap → https://ibm.biz/BdPzaR The IBM’s quantum computing service, Qiskit Runtime, offers an array of tools and features designed to make quantum computing easier for developers. In this video, IBM Quantum software engineer Matthew Treinish gives classical developers an inside look at a particularly useful and versatile set of those tools, which we call “quantum primitives.” At the most basic level, quantum primitives are simply an abstraction model that takes various native operations that are fundamental to quantum computing, and abstracts them into a generic API. With primitives, it’s easy to write higher-level applications that are built on top of those functions.
