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.

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 how to use the Microsoft Azure Quantum service.

Welcome aboard!

Spaceship of the quantum exploration crew.

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
