Q# Advent Calendar is a blogging event in which every day in December one awesome community member writes a blog post about Q#. We hosted one in 2018 and in 2019; let's do it again!
It is October, and this means it's time for Hacktoberfest - an annual celebration of open source! Meet our newest maintainer and learn how to participate in the Quantum Hacktoberfest.
QIR is a new Microsoft-developed intermediate representation for quantum programs. This post describes QIR and provides pointers to the specification and source code.
We implement a custom simulator that generates a quantum circuit diagram in the ⟨q|pic⟩ format from Q# program execution traces.
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.
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#.
In this blog post, I would like to talk about a feature that is especially interesting when it comes to new ways for you to incorporate your own ideas and vision into our tools: Custom compilation steps, which allow you to extend and customize the Q# compilation process.
We discuss code actions in Q# and the details of their implementation in the compiler.
A brief introduction to unit tests with Q#.
In this post Rory Soiffer, an intern with Microsoft's Quantum group during the summer of 2019, describes the project he worked on - building a framework for Q# compiler optimizations.
