Configuring Your Quantum Machine Learning Workstation

Even though this course is about quantum machine learning, we don’t expect you to have a quantum computer at your disposal. Therefore, we’ll run most of the code examples in a simulated environment on your local machine. First, however, we’ll need to compile and install some dependencies.

We’ll use the following software stack:

• Unix-based operating system (this is not required, but it is recommended).
• Python, including pip.
• Jupyter (this is not required, but it is recommended).

Python

For all examples inside “Hands-On Quantum Machine Learning with Python,” we’ll use Python as our programming language. Python is easy to learn. Its simple syntax allows us to concentrate on learning quantum machine learning rather than ...
