# Qiskit Overview

## Overview

Qiskit is a python library provided by IBM to interface with their quantum systems. Just like the rest of python it's nice and easy to learn, and it's very flexible. It's a great option if you'd like to integrate quantum solutions in with regular code.

## Material

In this section we'll do an overview of how to install qiskit, prepare and run jobs, and how to visualize your results.

### New Material

* Qiskit requirements
* Installation
* Basic components
* Simple code examples
