"""Example usage of the Quantum Inspire backend with the QisKit SDK.

A simple example that demonstrates how to use the SDK to create
a circuit to create a Bell state, and simulate the circuit on
Quantum Inspire.

For documentation on how to use QisKit we refer to
[https://qiskit.org/](https://qiskit.org/).

Specific to Quantum Inspire is the creation of the QI instance, which is used to set the authentication of the user and
provides a Quantum Inspire backend that is used to execute the circuit.
