Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This chapter delves into the world of quantum computing libraries, focusing on the most advanced and stable tools available. It highlights Qiskit, developed by IBM, as the most comprehensive suite, supporting a wide range of algorithms and simulation tools. Google’s Cirq, designed for NISQ devices, and Microsoft’s Q#, optimized for hybrid quantum–classical workflows, are also explored. The text discusses other notable libraries like Pennylane and Strawberry Fields, developed by Xanadu, and PyQuil for Rigetti’s architecture. It also touches on MATLAB’s nascent quantum computing toolbox and the Berkeley Quantum Synthesis Toolkit (BQSkit) for optimizing quantum circuits. The chapter emphasizes the importance of classical preprocessing libraries for quantum computation, mentioning OpenFermion, PySCF, and Qiskit Nature for quantum chemistry simulation preprocessing. It concludes by highlighting the availability of quantum hardware through the cloud and the adoption of Qiskit as the primary library for programming quantum computers throughout the book.
