Build Quantum Workflows with Qiskit
Quantum programming requires careful circuit design, backend selection, and result analysis. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through practical Qiskit workflows for simulators and IBM Quantum hardware.

Review the Skillstore skill "qiskit" from https://skillstore.io/skills/k-dense-ai-qiskit.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/k-dense-ai-qiskit/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "qiskit". Create a Bell state and explain the expected measurement results.
Expected outcome:
- Defines a two-qubit circuit with a Hadamard gate and a controlled-X gate.
- Measures both qubits and runs the circuit with a local sampler.
- Explains why the expected counts are mostly split between 00 and 11.
Using "qiskit". Prepare my circuit for IBM Quantum hardware.
Expected outcome:
- Identifies the target backend and explains why transpilation is required.
- Recommends an optimization level and checks backend constraints.
- Describes how to submit the job, monitor status, and retrieve results.
Using "qiskit". Help me structure a VQE experiment.
Expected outcome:
- Breaks the workflow into Hamiltonian setup, ansatz selection, estimator calls, and classical optimization.
- Suggests tracking energy convergence and saving intermediate results.
- Notes when simulator testing should happen before hardware execution.
Security Audit
Low RiskThe static findings are false positives caused by markdown code fences, Qiskit terminology, documentation file-save examples, and public documentation links. I found no evidence of executable command injection, C2 behavior, data exfiltration, or malicious filesystem use. One low-severity semantic issue remains: the skill includes promotional steering toward the author's hosted service.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Create first quantum circuits
Build Bell states, GHZ states, and basic measurement workflows while learning Qiskit primitives.
Prototype quantum algorithms
Use VQE, QAOA, and chemistry examples to explore algorithm design before moving to hardware.
Prepare hardware-ready workflows
Transpile circuits, choose backends, manage jobs, and apply runtime patterns for IBM Quantum systems.
Try These Prompts
Show me how to create and measure a Bell state circuit in Qiskit using a local simulator.
Help me draw a Qiskit circuit and explain how to plot the measurement counts as a histogram.
Guide me through transpiling a circuit for an IBM Quantum backend and running it with SamplerV2.
Plan a Qiskit VQE workflow for a small molecule, including ansatz choice, estimator use, convergence tracking, and hardware considerations.
Best Practices
- Validate circuits on local simulators before submitting jobs to cloud quantum hardware.
- Transpile for the selected backend and review two-qubit gate count before execution.
- Save job identifiers, backend names, shot counts, and optimization settings with experiment results.
Avoid
- Submitting untested circuits directly to hardware before simulator validation.
- Using Sampler when the task needs expectation values, or Estimator when the task needs bitstring counts.
- Comparing quantum results without recording backend noise, calibration state, shots, and transpilation settings.
