Quantum Computing

A resource list for Q#, Microsoft’s quantum programming language. Unlike general quantum lists it focuses on one language and its toolchain.

A list of frameworks, courses and papers for quantum computing. Unlike scattered academic sources it offers both a beginner’s entry path and depth for the researcher.

A high-level platform that synthesises quantum circuits from functional models. Unlike gate-level tools such as Qiskit, you describe what you want and the platform generates the circuit.

Queued access to real quantum processors, with circuits written and submitted through Qiskit. Unlike simulators, this is where you meet the noise and error rates they hide.

A Turkish compilation of Microsoft’s quantum computing learning resources. Instead of scattered English resources, it offers an ordered way into the field.

Microsoft’s early quantum simulation platform. Unlike today’s Q# it is no longer developed; little practical value remains beyond seeing how the field’s toolchain evolved.

The stages from noisy intermediate-scale (NISQ) to error-corrected logical qubits. Unlike headlines it defines each stage by criteria — useful for weighing which promises are now and which a decade out, though it is a company’s roadmap.

Source for the Q# compiler and simulator. Unlike the install page it shows the internals — for anyone who wants to see how a quantum circuit is compiled and simulated.

Explains why quantum needs its own language. Unlike Python libraries such as Qiskit, a separate language was chosen because constraints like no-cloning and measurement collapsing state do not fit classical idioms.

Xanadu’s differentiable-programming framework for quantum machine learning. Unlike Qiskit it is hardware-agnostic and computes gradients automatically with PyTorch or JAX.

Installing Q# and the QDK; the VS Code extension is the shortest path to running circuits on a local simulator. Unlike IBM Quantum, you start on your own machine without any hardware access.

IBM’s open-source quantum programming framework, giving access to real quantum hardware. Unlike pure simulators it runs the circuit you write on a real quantum processor over the cloud.

An education project explaining quantum concepts at three separate depths: game, animation and technical account. Unlike single-level resources that layering lets the same concept reach a child and an undergraduate.

A long-running community wiki and resource directory on quantum computing and information. Unlike industry news sites it is academic — concept entries, conferences and job listings.

A comprehensive, annotated and cited catalogue of known quantum algorithms. Unlike textbooks, it lists each algorithm’s type of speed-up and original paper in one place.

A news source tracking the quantum industry, hardware roadmaps and companies. Compared with The Quantum Insider it is more analytical; some content and databases are paid.

A site teaching quantum computing as a “book” with spaced-repetition built in. Unlike classic texts it interleaves questions so you do not forget what you read.

A virtual lab where you assemble and run optical quantum experiments by dragging photons, polarisers and beam splitters. Unlike circuit simulators it works at the level of the physical apparatus rather than the qubit abstraction.

The standard open-source Python library for simulating the dynamics of open quantum systems. Unlike circuit simulators such as Qiskit, it works with continuous-time dynamics — master equations and noise — rather than gates.

The candid blog of a leading figure in quantum complexity theory. Unlike hyped quantum news it tests claims technically — for understanding what each “quantum advantage” announcement actually shows.

Wraps parameterised quantum circuits as Keras-style layers to combine with classical networks. Compared with PennyLane it is tied to TensorFlow with a smaller community; one of the places hybrid classical-quantum models are explored.

A news publication covering the quantum industry broadly and daily. Unlike academic sources it is industry-focused: companies, funding and product news.

A browser-based laboratory for designing and simulating quantum optics experiments. Against Quantum Flytrap it aims at research-grade accuracy rather than gamification, enough to stand in for a teaching lab.
