Q# Blog

Grace Hopper Celebration 2019 – the world’s largest gathering of women technologists – featured several sessions on quantum computing as part of the "Emerging Technologies" track. We presented one of these sessions, a workshop titled “Introduction to Quantum Computing with Grover`s Search". In this post we share the highlights of the trip.

A novice approached the master asking for a code review of his implementation of Grover's search...

In July 2018 we announced the Quantum Katas – an open-source project aimed at teaching quantum computing and Q# programming. This July we’re celebrating the first anniversary of the Katas, so I decided to step back for a moment and look at how the project grew and evolved during this year.

With our April release coming out, you may have noticed some major changes. This is therefore a good time to recap the language features we have introduced over the last couple of months, elaborate a little bit on the newest changes, and peek into what is coming next.

We present the first batch of Quantum Katas - self-paced tutorials for learning quantum computing and Q# - in Jupyter Notebook format. Now you can solve the tasks from the tutorials in your browser without having to install any extra software.

International Women’s Day is a day to celebrate the women in our life. That includes the amazing women in our group who, among other things, work to shape the Quantum Development Kit and to bring you these awesome tools for quantum programming. Without further ado, allow me to introduce them to you – in their own words.

Last month we invited everybody to try out their quantum programming skills in the second Q# coding contest. Now that it's over, let's take a look at how it went.

We are excited to invite you to the Microsoft Q# Coding Contest – Winter 2019 – the second global quantum programming competition!

In previous blog posts you have read about some of the ideas behind Q#, how it came into existence, and its development over the past year. You have read about quantum computing, quantum algorithms and what you can do with Q# today. With the end of the year approaching, there is only one more thing to cover: What is next?
