Q# Holiday Calendar (previously Q# Advent Calendar) is a yearly blogging event in which every day in December one awesome community member writes a blog post about Q#. (Check out the previous editions: 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021.) Let’s see what the 2022 edition will bring!

The rules are simple:

  1. Reserve a slot by leaving a comment on this post. (You can also tweet about it, but you’ll have to mention @tcNickolas to make sure we’ve seen it!) The slots are assigned on the first come, first serve basis. You do not have to announce the topic of your blog post until you’re ready to publish it, but we’d really love to hear it beforehand. (This also helps other bloggers to pick a topic that is not too close to the ones already covered.)
  2. Prepare a blog post (in English) about Q#, Azure Quantum, a cool project you’ve done with them, using Q# and Azure Quantum for research or education, tools for working with them… You got the idea! Note that Q# Holiday Calendar accepts only original content. Don’t forget to check out the previous calendars for inspiration!
  3. Publish your blog post on your assigned date. Don’t forget to link back to the Q# Holiday Calendar from your post, so that your readers can find the entire calendar!
  4. Leave the link to your blog post in a comment to this post, and we’ll add it to the calendar. If you share a link to your post on Twitter, use hashtags #qsharp or #AzureQuantum.

    Hi,

    I’m a master student at EPFL, currently working on a semester project with Mathias Soeken on surface code compilation. As part of the project, I’d love to share some aspects of this fascinating topics in the Holiday Calendar. If possible, I’d like to pick the 16th.

    Kind regards,
    Nicolas

    Dec 23: Cardiac Anomaly Detection using Azure Quantum Workspace

      Sounds great! Would you be willing to take Dec 22nd instead? I had an idea to do Festivus on Dec 23rd, it’s been a couple of years since we’ve had Feats of Strength, but of course I forgot to mark it on the calendar – and that one is not very flexible date-wise

    Hello,

    I would like to start by writing one paragraph about me “An Intern’s approach to Azure Quantum” on my experience with Q# so far, and then write something more theoretical on “Quantum Error Correction and Stabilizer Code”, all in one blog. Maybe December 21st?

    Best wishes,
    Petar P.
