Q# Advent Calendar is a yearly blogging event in which every day in December one awesome community member writes a blog post about Q#. Check out the previous editions: 2018, 2019, and 2020, and let’s see what 2021 edition will bring!

The rules are simple:

  1. 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.)
  2. 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. Note that Q# Advent Calendar accepts only original content. Don’t forget to check out the previous calendars for inspiration!
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    Hi Mariia, for some reason my website isn’t updating with my recent changes. I’m hoping there is just a server issue and it will be resolved in the morning. I’ll post the link to the blog as soon as my site begins loading with the proper version

      • Mariia MykhailovaMicrosoft employee Author

        Great, thank you! I added the link to the Calendar.
        Do you want to tweet about it for me to amplify?

      • Ryan Moreno

        Done! Thanks or organizing 🙂

  • Paria Naghavi

    Hi Mariia,
    Is there any chance I could have the December 22nd spot? My title is “Optimizing QIR: From Quantum Phase Kick back to Estimation”.

  • Guen PrawiroatmodjoMicrosoft employee

    Hi Mariia, I’d like to take the Dec 7th slot! Title “Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing Models”

  • Adithya Balaji

    Hi Mariia, pencil me in for December 18th! I’ll coordinate with Guen.

    Hi Mariia,
    I have an idea for a blog: The expressiveness of Q# vs. OpenQASM 2.0 and 3.0
    Would it fit this event? If yes, December 5th would work for me.

      Hi Jonathan,
      How’s your blog post going? Share the link with us once you have it up 🙂

      • Jonathan Daniel

        This is the updated link.
        Could you please update it here? Thanks

      • Jonathan Daniel · Edited

        Hey Mariia, here is the link. It is planned to be hosted soon on another website, so I’ll update the link in a new comment 🙂

      • Mariia MykhailovaMicrosoft employee Author

        Got it! Please let me know if you’ll tweet about it – I like the authors to do the honors if possible 🙂

      • Jonathan Daniel

        Yes, I think that we’ll publicize it soon

  • Mario Cuomo

    This blogging event is really nice!
    I’m going to present an entry level post, classic bit vs qubit and the no-cloning theorem with examples in Q #.

    .. and why not, do it in a team with other developers who want to write the post with me!
