# Project Scope and Purpose Recently, IBM made their quantum system available for use by both businesses and educators. This means that students and professionals alike will have the opportunity to explore - to test what is possible and learn how to develop for it. This is of particular interest to me, as I do research in computational chemistry and have been looking forward to the possibility of using quantum computers to solve larger and more complex chemical problems. As part of my capstone project I've decided learn more about quantum computing. This includes, but is not limited to, relevant reading and research, interviews with professionals, and attempting to develop software for the system. Part of what I plan to do is create tutorials for others hoping to use this technology, along with some example projects. Ultimately the plan is for this to become a resource for anyone interested in quantum computers. ### About the Author My name is Aislyn Laurent and I'm an undergraduate student at the University of Windsor finishing my double major in Biochemistry and Computer Science. I do computational chemistry research, work with Google as the Women Techmakers Ambassador for the Windsor / Essex region and participate in a whole bunch of campus programs and initiatives (like Esports). You can reach out to me directly through socials or come find me stomping around the chemistry building: * **Twitter:** * **LinkedIn:** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://lewisla.gitbook.io/learning-quantum/master.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
