# Learning Qiskit

Sample Code & Getting Started 

Step 1: Open up terminal and check for python 3.7+ or install python by following instructions. 

```python
#check which version of python you have
python -V
```

Step 2: Then install anaconda 

```python
brew cask install anaconda 
```

(you can check if it has finished installing by running "jupyter notebook" in the terminal)

Step 3: 

**Topics:** 

Visualization: 

All visualizations found [here](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/qutip/qutip-notebooks/blob/master/examples/visualization-exposition.ipynb)

```python
%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib,pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np 
from qutip import * 

//Hinton 
rho = rand_dm(5)
hinto(rho); 

//Sphereplot 
theta = np.linspace(0,     np.pi, 90)
phi   = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 60)
sphereplot(theta, phi, orbital(theta, phi, basis(3, 0)));

//Matrix_histogram 
matrix_histogram(rho.full().real);
matrix_histogram_complex(rho.full());

b = Bloch()
b.add_vectors(expect(H.unit(), e_ops))
b.add_points(result.expect, meth='1')
b.make_sphere()
```
