overview |
Microsoft Quantum, and the QDK give you the tools to program quantum algorithms, and learn quantum computing. We provide you with a multitude of learning journeys and examples.
You can read up about how quantum computing works and what quantum computers can do.
You can dive right in and write a quantum program using our quickstarts, tutorials and online katas (training exercises).
You can learn about the libraries that are provided with the QDK.
What is quantum computing?
What can I do with a quantum computer?
Why should I learn quantum computing?
What is the Q# programming language?
How can I learn quantum computing?
Dive into a 5-minute quickstart to code a Bell state.
Implement Grover's search algorithm in just a few lines of code.
Try one of the Quantum Katas, short training exercises to teach you how to program in Q# and learn quantum computing.
Browse the Q# samples
In addition to the standard and numeric Q# libraries, the QDK includes libraries that abstract scenario specific functionality, to make it easier for you to write quantum programs that target that scenario. For example, Quantum Chemistry is a library for modeling chemical processes at the quantum level.
Watch this video to learn more about the chemistry library.
