Introduction There are numerous architectural decisions to consider when building quantum computers, which have the potential to address real-world computational challenges like quantum chemistry and quantum cryptography. Researchers worldwide are engaged in developing various aspects of quantum computer architecture. Microsoft Azure Qua...
For many people, learning a new skill is easiest when it's a shared experience. Quantum computing workshops offer an interactive, structured and co-operative forum to jump start your quantum learning. But how do organize such an event? The Azure Quantum team frequently receives questions on how to organize quantum computing workshops, so we tho...
Today, Microsoft announced a significant quantum advancement and made our new Integrated Hybrid feature in Azure Quantum available to the public. Quantum computing is inherently hybrid. The key to unlocking impactful, commercial applications at scale will be deep integration between classical computing capabilities including HPC and AI with scal...
This blog post offers a step-by-step guide to creating your first Azure account and Azure Quantum workspace.
In this blog post I show how to analyze and optimize a quantum Sudoku solver written in Q# using resources estimation tools from Quantum Development Kit.
Learn about the common tools and tricks used for testing quantum programs, using the testing harnesses of the Quantum Katas as an example.
Learn about the internal structure of the Quantum Katas - our collection of self-paced programming exercises on quantum computing - and their most important component – the testing harnesses that provide the learner immediate feedback on their solutions.
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#.
