# Quantum Computing Guide A skill for conducting quantum computing research using Qiskit (IBM) and Cirq (Google) frameworks. Covers quantum circuit construction, fundamental algorithms, noise simulation, and practical considerations for running experiments on quantum hardware. ## Quantum Computing Fundamentals ### Key Concepts ``` Qubit: The basic unit of quantum information - Superposition: A qubit can be in a state |0>, |1>, or any linear combination alpha|0> + beta|1> where |alpha|^2 + |beta|^2 = 1 - Measurement: Collapses to |0> with probability |alpha|^2 or |1> with probability |beta|^2 Entanglement: Two qubits can be correlated in ways impossible classically - Bell state: (|00> + |11>) / sqrt(2) - Measuring one qubit instantly determines the other Quantum gates: Unitary operations that transform qubit states - Single-qubit: H (Hadamard), X (NOT), Z, S, T, Rx, Ry, Rz - Two-qubit: CNOT, CZ, SWAP - Multi-qubit: Toffoli (CCNOT), Fredkin (CSWAP) ``` ## Building Quantum Circuits with Qiskit ### Basic Circuit Construction ```python from qiskit import QuantumCircuit from qiskit_aer import AerSimulator def create_bell_state() -> QuantumCircuit: """ Create a Bell state (maximally entan

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill quantum-computing-guide --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
