.. _getting_started: =========================================================== 1. Getting started with QuICScript (Quantum-in-a-browser) =========================================================== This section covers all you need to know for QuICScript before you start using QuICScript. ----------------------- 1.1. Before you start ----------------------- QuICScript runs in a browser. To access QuICScript, you simply need a browser and a Wifi connection. There is no pre-installation required and circuit execution results are immediate, no compilation is required... it's that simple! If you are new to quantum, take our `Introduction to Quantum Gates and QuICScript course `_. *Note: you can also access this course via the quantumnft homepage.* If you are a physicist and are already familiar with quantum gates, then skip to the `Using QuICScript `_ section of this manual to get a quick understanding of the syntax and the gates supported. Or you can refer to our QuICScript cheat sheet at `QuICScript Cheat Sheet `_ developed internally by Senior Cryptographic Engineer, Nicholas Ho. -------------------------- 1.2. Getting to QuICScript --------------------------- When you are ready to start building and testing your quantum circuits, you can access QuICScript `here `_.
