Fix misc. typos and hyphenate "[number]-qubit". (#859)

dlyongemallo · web-flow · commit 1748699b49c4 · 2020-02-07T14:18:26.000+01:00
* Hyphenate "[number]-qubit" when a compound adjective, for clarity and consistency.

(To be completely consistent, maybe all instances of "two-qubit" should be changed to "2-qubit" and so on, i.e., numerals should always be used.)

* Fix miscellaneous minor typos.

* s/if/is in 2_plotting_data_in_qiskit.ipynb.
* s/Lets/Let's in 4_quantum_circuit_properties.ipynb.
* s/exponential/exponentially and s/dimensions/dimension in 7_summary_of_quantum_operations.ipynb.
* s/Non unitary/Non-unitary in 7_summary_of_quantum_operations.ipynb.
* s/presrved/preserved in 1_advanced_circuits.ipynb.
* s/it's/its and s/Stadnard/Standard in 4_transpiler_passes_and_passmanager.ipynb.

* Fix typo s/index channel/channel index and s/who's/whose in qiskit/advanced/terra/5_pulse_schedules.ipynb.

* Fix typo s/the the/the/g.
