Integrated Hybrid Support in the Azure Quantum Development Kit

Cesar Zaragoza Cortes
Cesar Zaragoza Cortes

Some quantum computers can do more than execute a static sequence of gates. The most advanced ones can perform mid-circuit measurements, conditionally execute gates, perform real-time classical computations and re-use qubits. If you want to experiment with these state-of-the-art capabilities, we have good news for you. The Azure Quantum Development...

Evaluating cat qubits for fault-tolerant quantum computing using Azure Quantum Resource Estimator

Mathias Soeken Elie Gouzien
Mathias,
Elie

Introduction This blog post highlights a recent collaboration between Microsoft and Alice & Bob, a French startup whose goal is to build a fault-tolerant quantum computer by leveraging a superconducting qubit called a cat qubit. In this collaboration, Alice & Bob uses the new extensibility mechanisms of Microsoft’s Resource Estimator to ob...

Announcing v1.0 of the Azure Quantum Development Kit

Bill Ticehurst
Bill Ticehurst

Today we are excited to announce the 1.0 release of the Azure Quantum Development Kit, which we often refer to simply as "the QDK". As outlined in an earlier blog post, this is a significant re-write over the prior QDK with an emphasis on speed, simplicity, and a delightful experience. Review that post for the technical details on how we rebuilt...

Azure Quantum Integrated Hybrid unlocks algorithmic primitives

Martin Roetteler
Martin Roetteler

To build a quantum supercomputer that can solve the world’s hardest and most complex problems in chemistry and materials science, several key ingredients need to come together. First, today’s foundational-level quantum machines need to be scaled up to a size of at least one million stable and controllable qubits. These are the table stakes for solv...
