Abstract

We present Qiskit Machine Learning (ML), a high-level Python library that combines elements of quantum computing with traditional machine learning. The API abstracts Qiskit's primitives to facilitate interactions with classical simulators and quantum hardware. Qiskit ML started as a proof-of-concept code in 2019 and has since been developed to be a modular, intuitive tool for non-specialist users while allowing extensibility and fine-tuning controls for quantum computational scientists and developers. The library is available as a public, open-source tool and is distributed under the Apache version 2.0 license.
