What is Qiskit?

Qiskit is IBM’s open-source Python library for quantum programming; it lets you build circuits, run them on simulators and send them to IBM quantum computers.

With Qiskit, qubits and gates are added to a QuantumCircuit object in Python, and the circuit is run on a local simulator or a real processor in the IBM Quantum cloud. It is licensed under Apache 2.0 and is the most widely used quantum programming tool.

Similar tools include Google’s Cirq, Xanadu’s PennyLane, Quantinuum’s TKET and the Amazon Braket SDK. Quantum Store’s Qiskit package comes with installation steps and a tested Bell-state example.
