Quantum computing foundations

Welcome to the world of quantum computing!

Whether you're a developer or simply someone who wants to get a feel for what quantum computing is all about, this learning path is a great place to start exploring quantum computing and optimization.

Imagine you're the new member of a space crew. The spaceship is equipped with a computer that has access to the Azure Quantum servers on Earth and you can use the power of quantum to complete different tasks. During your training as a new crew member, you'll learn about quantum computing and optimization and how to use the Microsoft Azure Quantum service.

Welcome aboard!

After completing this learning path, you'll be able to:

• Explain the fundamental concepts of quantum computing.
• Identify the kinds of problems quantum algorithms can solve more efficiently than classical algorithms.
• Build basic quantum programs by using the Quantum Development Kit and Q#.
• Interact with the Azure Quantum cloud service.
• Adapt and create Q# applications to run them on actual hardware.
• Estimate physical resources for quantum algorithms using Azure Quantum
• Apply quantum-inspired optimization to a combinatorial optimization problem.
• Solve a job shop scheduling optimization problem.
