Qiskit is an open-source quantum software development kit created by IBM. It is the most widely used framework for writing, compiling, and executing quantum programs, and it has become the default entry point for much of the quantum computing community.

Surface Codes
The surface code is the most widely studied quantum error correction scheme, and for good reason: it has a high error threshold (approximately 1% for standard noise models), meaning it can tolerate relatively noisy physical qubits compared to other codes.

Fault Tolerant Computing
A fault-tolerant quantum computer is a machine that can perform arbitrarily long calculations even though its underlying components are unreliable. In a classical computer, transistors rarely fail, but quantum bits are entirely different. Regardless of the underlying hardware platform, physical

Laser Cooling
Atoms at room temperature move at hundreds of meters per second, far too fast to serve as qubits. To use individual atoms for quantum computing, scientists must slow them almost to a standstill. Laser cooling is the primary technique for
