Learn Quantum Computing

This repository is my own learning path of quantum computing in terms of both concepts and hands-on programming.

I'm using mostly two sources of learning materials:

Microsoft Quantum Documentation: "the programming part". I recommend this documentation primarily for Q# reference, but it also has plenty of beginner-friendly reading materials.
Dave Bacon's CSE 599d Notes from 2006: "the conceptual part". This is a well-organized series of notes and problem sets with more flavor in mathematics and electrical engineering.

Here are the programming languages used in this repo:

Q# -- a programming language on its own in Microsoft's Quantum Development Kit
Python 3.6+ -- Q# supports multiple hosting languages, but I'm going with Python here.

Recommended Practice

Installing Dependencies

Pre-requisites

Python 3.6 or later
pip
.NET Core SDK 3.1 or later

Getting qsharp

Refer to the following code for a start -- it's not uncommon to run into an installation problem with iqsharp, however. Search GitHub issues for help.

pip install qsharp
dotnet tool install -g Microsoft.Quantum.IQSharp
dotnet iqsharp install

Getting a nice development environment
