-# Hello Qubit
-
-A simple example to get you up and running:
-
-```python
- import cirq
-
- # Pick a qubit.
- qubit = cirq.GridQubit(0, 0)
-
- # Create a circuit
- circuit = cirq.Circuit(
- cirq.X(qubit)**0.5, # Square root of NOT.
- cirq.measure(qubit, key='m') # Measurement.
- )
- print("Circuit:")
- print(circuit)
-
- # Simulate the circuit several times.
- simulator = cirq.Simulator()
- result = simulator.run(circuit, repetitions=20)
- print("Results:")
- print(result)
-```
-
-Example output:
-
-```
- Circuit:
- (0, 0): ───X^0.5───M('m')───
- Results:
- m=11000111111011001000
-```

-# Learn more about quantum computing
-
-In case you would like to learn more about Quantum Computing, check out our [education page](/education).
-
-# Hardware vs simulation
-
-There are two main ways of running quantum algorithms using Cirq:
- - [Simulation](simulation.ipynb) is available on any computer.
- - Quantum processors are provided by different Quantum Service Providers:
- - [Google Quantum Computing Service](tutorials/google/start.ipynb)
- - [Alpine Quantum Technologies](tutorials/aqt/getting_started.ipynb)
- - [Pasqal](tutorials/pasqal/getting_started.ipynb)
- - [IonQ](tutorials/ionq/getting_started.ipynb)
-
-# Next steps
-
-- Learn about the [Basics](tutorials/basics.ipynb) of Cirq, like the Circuit, Qubit and Simulator classes and how to use them.
-- Explore all the numerous [Tutorials and examples](tutorials).
-- Check out the [API docs](/reference/python/cirq).
-- Learn more about the Cirq concepts in-depth in our guides.
