🎯 Purpose (What & For Whom)¶
This repository provides unofficial practice questions for the IBM Certified Quantum Computation using Qiskit v2.X Developer – Associate exam.
It is designed for:
- Learners preparing for the certification who want hands-on practice.
- Developers already familiar with Python and basic linear algebra who want to test their Qiskit v2.x skills.
- Anyone who prefers to practice with questions, explanations, and code snippets before sitting the real exam.
This repo will help you get comfortable with both theory and practical Qiskit coding tasks you are likely to encounter.
📝 Exam Overview¶

ℹ️ Note: The previous v0.2X exam retires on September 30, 2025, but certifications earned remain valid.
📚 Exam Domains¶
The official exam is structured into eight domains.
| Exam Domain | Example Skills |
|---|---|
| 1. Performing quantum operations | Single- and multi-qubit gates, composition |
| 2. Visualizing circuits, measurements, and states | plot_histogram, Bloch sphere, statevectors |
| 3. Creating quantum circuits | Parametrized circuits, controlled gates |
| 4. Running quantum circuits | Backends, transpiler, job execution |
| 5. Using the sampler primitive | Sampling outputs, broadcast rules |
| 6. Using the estimator primitive | Expectation values, options tuning |
| 7. Retrieving and analyzing results | Job metadata, result parsing |
| 8. Operating with OpenQASM 3 | Control flow, measurement feed-forward |
Each folder contains:
- MCQs (single/multiple choice)
- Code snippets (find the correct implementation)
- Visual problems (circuit/state diagrams)
