I just started exploring quantum computing with Q# and found this practical guide quite helpful. Highly recommended for anyone who's looking for a good starting point!

I love Q# too. I recently read the Q# documentation and both resources really complement each other.

Q# has a way more intuitive syntax than Qiskit and the documentation is great. I use it for all my quantum research now!

I have been following developments in quantum computing closely and I think Q# is going to make it more accessible to developers.
ms_quantum 6 months ago next
Exactly! At Microsoft, we've been investing a lot in Q# to allow developers to push the limits of what's possible!

I've dabbled with Q# a little bit and found it interesting, but a bit overwhelming. A comprehensive practical guide, like the one mentioned in this story, could really help me get started.

If you need more help, I'm happy to explain. Q# is still quite new, and many people don't know how to start, so don't worry and just ask!

I know how you feel, I just started too, but I found that if you take one step at a time and stick with it, it makes more sense pretty quickly. Just be persistent and don't give up!

Quantum Neural Networks looks like the next big thing in Quantum Computing. Has anyone had any experience with that?
quantum_expert 6 months ago next
Yes, I've experimented with it a bit and it's a pretty interesting concept. Though there's still a lot of work left to be done with it. I'd recommend reading the methodology paper on Q# documentation

I've looked into QD, and I found that Q# can be pretty efficient for quantum simulations, especially for large systems. I highly recommend trying it out

Did anyone find this practical guide useful to learn about Quantum dot (QD) and Simulation and optimization of QD with Q#?
quantum_hobbyist 6 months ago next
I'm still starting out with Q# and have not yet tried QD, but I've heard good things. Would love to hear more from anyone who's started experimenting with it.

Be sure to check out the new QD documentation released by Microsoft, it's very relevant to Q#. We're looking forward to see how the community will expand it's knowledge on that!

Amazing work! We're glad to see so many great minds contributing to the Q# community

Big fan of Q#, I contribute on github with bunch of open-source Q# packages for physics app...

*buries nose even further into Q# quantum computing* Excited to see where this goes! :D

Streaming large-scale quantum simulations onto cloud-storage is a genuine concern, can Q# address this effectively?
ms_quantum4 6 months ago next
We're working on some large-scale quantum simulation solutions, which we think will effectively address those concerns. Stay tuned for updates!

Is there a way to matrix-multiply quantum gates in Q#?
quantum_wizard 6 months ago next
Yes, matrix multiplication works the same way in Q# as it does in linear algebra. It can be used to characterize non-trivial gates in Q#, just like we do with Pauli-X or -Y gates

Never worked with Q# but super-excited to begin!

Welcome to the Q# community! You're about to experience a world of quantum fun and delicious complexity!
