Microsoft Teams With Alphabet's X and Brilliant For Online Quantum Computing Class

Monday May 27, 2019. 02:47 AM , from Slashdot/Apple
'Learn to build quantum algorithms from the ground up with a quantum computer simulated in your browser,' suggests a new online course.


'The very concept of a quantum computer can be daunting, let alone programming it, but Microsoft thinks it can offer a helping hand,' reports Engadget:

Microsoft is partnering with Alphabet's X and Brilliant on an online curriculum for quantum computing. The course starts with basic concepts and gradually introduces you to Microsoft's Q# language, teaching you how to write 'simple' quantum algorithms before moving on to truly complicated scenarios. You can handle everything on the web (including quantum circuit puzzles), and there's a simulator to verify that you're on the right track.
The course 'features Q# programming exercises with Python as the host language,' explains Microsoft's press release.

The course's web page promises that by the end of the course, 'you'll know your way around the world of quantum information, have experimented with the ins and outs of quantum circuits, and have written your first 100 lines of quantum code -- while remaining blissfully ignorant about detailed quantum physics.'
