A quantum circuit can be visualized in Qiskit with circuit.draw. A drawing style can be set with parameter output which can have values mpl, text or latex (e.g circuit.draw(output='mpl')).

I am wondering if there is a way to use the same symbols and colors as in IBM Quantum composer since none of the above allow me to do so.

The IBM circuit composer used to be also known as IBM Quantum Experience, or IQX for short. For those historical reasons, the name of the style is iqx:

from qiskit import *
circuit = QuantumCircuit(2)
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.t(1)
circuit.draw('mpl', style='iqx')

draw output

Compare with the composer look:

That’s possible, just do

circuit.draw('mpl', style='iqx')

For those that are searching for the dark style:

circuit.draw('mpl', style='iqx-dark')

I also refer to the link that explains how one can set the style argument.
