Q#: Enabling scalable quantum computing and development with a high-level domain-specific language

Understand

Quantum computing exploits quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to realize a form of parallelism that is not available to traditional computing.

• It offers the potential of significant computational speed-ups in quantum chemistry, materials science, cryptography, and machine learning.
• The dominant approach to programming quantum computers is to provide an existing high-level language with libraries that allow for the expression of quantum programs.
• This approach can permit computations that are meaningless in a quantum context; prohibits succinct expression of interaction between classical and quantum logic; and does not provide important constructs that are required for quantum programming.
