Visualizing resource estimates with the trace simulator and quantum-viz.js

December 14th, 2021
Estimating the resources and visualizing execution traces of Q# programs are useful tasks. The trace simulator from the QDK and quantum-viz.js Javascript library help to perform those. In this blog post, we customize the trace simulator to output a circuit with hierarchy and resource information to be displayed with quantum-viz.js. The ...

Emulation in Q#

December 4th, 2020
It can be helpful to implement Q# functions or operations directly in C# - either to access some API that is not directly accessible in Q# or to provide alternative implementations based on the context in which the Q# program is executed. This blog post describes techniques to programmatically replace a Q# function by another one.

Build your own Q# simulator – Part 3: A circuit-diagram builder with ⟨q|pic⟩

August 13th, 2020
We implement a custom simulator that generates a quantum circuit diagram in the ⟨q|pic⟩ format from Q# program execution traces.

Build your own Q# simulator – Part 2: Advanced features for the reversible simulator

June 2nd, 2020
This post is the second in a series on how to write your own Q# simulators. In this part we describe advanced features to extend the reversible simulator from the first post in the series.

Build your own Q# simulator – Part 1: A simple reversible simulator

May 8th, 2020
Simulators are a particularly versatile feature of the QDK. This post is the first in a series that teaches you how to write your own simulators, thereby broadly extending the scope of Q#.
