        **Qiskit** is an open-source framework for working with noisy quantum computers at the level of pulses, circuits, and algorithms.
        
        Qiskit is made up elements that each 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 using `pip`:
        
        ```bash
        $ pip install qiskit
        ```
        
        See [install](https://qiskit.org/documentation/install.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
