U.S. PNNL and Microsoft Quantum Collaborating on Quantum Circuit Links to Supercomputers

A bridge to the quantum revolution When reliable qubit-based calculating devices arrive on the computing scene, they will not stand alone. They will need to cooperate with current scientific computing resources to reach their fullest potential. Now, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) computer scientists and the Microsoft Quantum team have taken a major step in that […]

Q# Developers: Introducing Quantum Intermediate Representation

Q#Q#Q# Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q# Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q#Q# Introducing Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR) Points to note… +  QIR is a new Microsoft-developed intermediate representation for quantum programs. It is based on the popular open-source LLVM intermediate language. QIR specifies a set of rules for representing quantum constructs in LLVM. It does not require any extensions or modifications to LLVM. QIR […]
