**Qiskit** is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of circuits, algorithms, and application modules.

Qiskit is made up of elements that work together to enable quantum computing. This is a simple meta-package to install the elements of Qiskit altogether.

## Installation

The best way of installing `qiskit` is by using `pip`:

```bash
$ pip install qiskit
```

See [install](https://qiskit.org/documentation/getting_started.html) Qiskit for detailed instructions, how to use virtual environments, and
build from source standalone versions of the individual Qiskit elements and components.

## Qiskit Elements

The four elements of Qiskit are the essential parts that give Qiskit its power
