Q# Advent Calendar 2020
Mariia Mykhailova
For the past two years we hosted Q# Advent Calendar (2018 and 2019) – a blogging event in which every day in December one awesome community member writes a blog post about Q#. I really enjoyed reading both years’ entries, so let’s do it again!
The rules are simple:
- Reserve a slot by leaving a comment on this post. (You can also tweet about it, but you’ll have to mention @tcNickolas to make sure we’ve seen it!) The slots are assigned on the first come, first serve basis. You do not have to announce the topic of your blog post until you’re ready to publish it, but we’d really love to hear it beforehand. (This also helps other bloggers to pick a topic that is not too close to the ones already covered.)
- Prepare a blog post (in English) about Q#, cool project you’ve done in Q#, learning Q#, teaching Q#, using Q# for research, tools for working with Q#… You got the idea.* Don’t forget to check out the previous calendars for inspiration!
- Publish your blog post on your assigned date. Don’t forget to link back to the Q# Advent Calendar from your post, so that your readers can find the entire advent.
- Leave the link to your blog post in a comment to this post, and we’ll add it to the calendar. If you share a link to your post on Twitter, use hashtags #qsharp and #QsAdvent.
*Q# Advent Calendar accepts only original content.
Looking forward to reading your Q# stories!

I would like to kick it of with a post on December 1st!
You got it 🙂
Hello,
I’m interested by the dec 9 🙂
The subject will quantum device fidelity benchmark in Q#.
Thank.
You got it 🙂
Thank you,
Where should I prepare my blog post ? On this platform ? Or somewhere else then commenting the link here ?
The latter 🙂 You can see examples of what other folks did in the previous years’ calendars – LinkedIn profile, GitHub repo or a personal blog are all popular options.
Hello Mariaa,
Here is the link for the today’s entry : http://www.quantumopenlab.org/2020/12/05/quantum-device-fidelity-benchmark-in-q/
Thank you very much !
Thank you!
As a side note, I’m looking forward to Azure Quantum going to public preview so that you’ll be able to run this benchmark on a real quantum device!
I’m down to write a blog post on Dec 5. It’ll be describing the Q# visualization project I worked on during the summer as an intern on the QDK team. 🙂
You got it 🙂
I would like to write about Shor’s Algorithm and Teaching Quantum with Q#. Here’s the link to my twitter post with more details.
If allowed, I would also like to write a post about my talk on “Quantum Machine Learning with Microsoft Q#”, that I had delivered at AI Dev Day. The video and slides are available here.
You got the slots 🙂
Do you mind if we wait a bit before you commit to the date for the third topic? Generally I try to keep one slot per author so that everybody has a chance to participate, but I’m happy to add new slots in case of overwhelming demand 🙂
I’ll take the 24th on Hamiltonian Simulation!
You got it 🙂
I can take Dec 23 on using Grover’s Search Algorithm to evaluate cryptarithms
You got it 🙂
I can write something together with a student I’m working with on Dec 19th about preparing a Gaussian function as an initial state to quantum algorithms.
You got it 🙂
@Mariia it’s done! Would you link it in the post for me? Thanks 🙂 https://guenp.medium.com/preparing-a-gaussian-wave-function-in-q-695c3941f6dc
Done, thank you!
Would love to write about our game from Hackathon this summer with Arjun Subramonian, on 12/18!
You got it 🙂
Hi, me and my team would love to contribute! The tentative topic for the blog is “A look into Quantum Machine Learning”. Can we take 28 December?
That would be great! Is there by any chance an earlier date that would work for you? I’d prefer to fill the slots up to Dec 24 first before extending it to later dates. Dec 17 possibly?
Is 13 available? If so we would like to take 13.
You got it! 🙂
Hello,
Here is the link for today’s post: https://kunal-kasodekar.medium.com/a-look-into-quantum-machine-learning-f1c883c1a056
Thank you
Thank you!
Just saw this, so I would like to reserve December 17th and come up with a topic tomorrow 🙂
You got it – looking forward to your topic 🙂
Hello Mariia! – Could you promote my role to editor, so I can publish the article? I can’t write a post right now.
You won’t be able to write the post on the Q# dev blog, you’ll need to publish it elsewhere and share the link with us. You can check what others did in their slots
Ok! I saw that some posts were uploaded here, so I thought this was an option too. I will comment the link on the 17th. 🙂
Yes, those are blogs by Microsoft Quantum team members, they go to the same platform we use outside of December time frame 🙂
Looking forward to it!

Hi, wondering if any one date between Dec 7- Dec 9th is still open? I would like to publish my blog. My topic would be related to cloud architecture for quantum apps. Thanks!
Sure, the list of open slots is up to date, so you can take your pick of those 🙂
Thank you very much , Mariia. I will publish on Dec 8th.
You got it! 🙂
Hi Mariia,
Here is the link to my blog post for Dec 8: Cloud Architecture for Quantum Computing – with Azure
Thank you! (For some reason blog platform doesn’t allow to answer to the last-level comment…)
