A collection of sample applications demonstrating quantum programming concepts and algorithms using Microsoft's Quantum Development Kit.
Microsoft/Quantum is a deprecated repository of sample applications for the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit (QDK). It demonstrates how to use Q# to develop quantum computing applications across various domains, including algorithms, simulations, and interoperability with classical languages. The samples serve as educational resources for learning quantum programming concepts and implementing quantum algorithms.
Developers, researchers, and students interested in learning quantum computing and practical quantum programming using Microsoft's QDK and Q# language.
It provides a wide range of self-contained, practical examples that accelerate learning and experimentation with quantum algorithms, making it easier to transition from theory to implementation in quantum computing.
Microsoft Quantum Development Kit Samples
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes hands-on samples for key quantum algorithms like database search and integer factorization, making it easy to learn from implemented code rather than theory alone.
Each sample is folder-based with specific instructions, allowing developers to jump into domains like quantum chemistry or error correction without prior setup.
Provides examples of integrating Q# with Python and C#, showcasing how quantum code can be embedded in classical applications for practical use.
Offers setup guides for VS Code, Docker, and Jupyter notebooks, catering to different preferences for quantum programming experimentation.
The repository is marked as deprecated, meaning no updates or support, which risks compatibility issues with modern QDK versions and leaves users without current best practices.
Requires installing multiple dependencies like .NET Core SDK and Docker, as noted in the README, which can be time-consuming and error-prone for newcomers.
Samples may rely on older QDK releases, leading to breaking changes if used with newer systems, and the README redirects to external resources for current information.
