📄 Description

Project

Qiskit

Checklist

One project per PR
PR title format: Add qiskit
Entry format: * [qiskit](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit) - An IBM-backed quantum SDK for building, simulating, and running circuits on real quantum hardware.
Description is concise and short

Why This Project Is Awesome

Which criterion does it meet? (pick one)

Industry Standard - The go-to tool for a specific use case
Rising Star - 5000+ stars in < 2 years, significant adoption
Hidden Gem - Exceptional quality, solves niche problems elegantly

Explain: Qiskit is the main open-source quantum computing SDK in Python. Backed by IBM, it is widely used in research and industry for circuit-based quantum computing, simulation, and running on real hardware. With ~7k GitHub stars and broad adoption, it is the standard tool for quantum programming in Python.

How It Differs

If similar entries exist, what makes this one unique?

QuTiP (also in Quantum Computing) focuses on quantum dynamics, open quantum systems, and master equations. Qiskit focuses on circuit-based quantum computing, gate-level operations, transpilation, and execution on real quantum hardware. They address different use cases: QuTiP for quantum dynamics and simulation, Qiskit for circuit design and hardware execution.

Additional change in this PR

Move QuTiP from Science to Quantum Computing: QuTiP (Quantum Toolbox in Python) is a quantum computing library, so it fits better under Quantum Computing than under general Science. This PR moves it from the Science section to the Quantum Computing section.
