Q# Blog

In this blog post we’ll look at the tools offered by Microsoft Quantum Development Kit to visualize various elements of quantum programs - the quantum state of the program, the unitary transformations, and the execution path (the circuit) of the program run.

Meet the winners of the Microsoft challenge at Quantum Coalition Hackathon 2021 and learn about their projects and their experiences at the Hackathon!

We are excited to announce that Microsoft will join Quantum Coalition Hack, hosted during the week of April 5-11! Learn more about the challenge we'll be offering and the best ways to prepare for it.

Quantum computers will be able to reveal the exact quantum nature of chemical systems exponentially faster than classical computers. In this post, we show how to use Microsoft's Q# libraries and developer tools to simulate a caffeine molecule using two quantum algorithms: Quantum Phase Estimation and Variational Quantum Eigensolver.

Learn about the common tools and tricks used for testing quantum programs, using the testing harnesses of the Quantum Katas as an example.

A look back at Q#'s third year, 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.

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 announce Microsoft Quantum internships for summer 2021, share some fun facts about the internships of the summer past, and highlight some of the things that are going to be new next summer.
