Microsoft and the State of Quantum: Q&A With Mariia MykhailovaMicrosoft Quantum partners with quantum-focused companies and universities to accelerate research, development, and adoption of quantum solutions and to advance the state of quantum computing education. Microsoft Quantum partners with quantum-focused companies and universities to accelerate research, development, and adoption of…
Myth vs. reality: a practical perspective on quantum computingMany industries—automotive, aerospace, healthcare, government, finance, manufacturing, and energy—have tough optimization problems where these quantum-inspired solutions can save time and money. Quantum-Inspired Optimization for Transportation by Anita Ramanan, Microsoft Quantum Software Engineer, and Scott Vanselous, VP Digital Supply Chain Solutions at Trimble….
PNNL, Microsoft Quantum partner to link quantum circuits to powerful government supercomputersThis research also supports a much larger effort, the DOE-supported Quantum Science Center, which aims to co-develop quantum algorithms and simulation. In this case, the API created at Microsoft connects PNNL’s quantum computing simulation code to Microsoft Quantum’s Q#…
A Bridge to the Quantum RevolutionWorking collaboratively, they connected a PNNL-developed quantum circuit density-matrix simulator (DM-SIM) running on a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supercomputer with the Microsoft Q# quantum programming ecosystem. This research also supports a much larger effort, the DOE-supported Quantum Science Center, which aims to co-develop quantum…

Building a bridge to the future of supercomputing with quantum accelerationMicrosoft’s new Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR), designed to bridge different languages and different target quantum computation platforms, is bringing us closer to that goal. As quantum computing capabilities mature, we expect most large-scale quantum applications will take full advantage of…
Recently, Microsoft called for an intermediate representation for quantum programs, called QIR (Quantum Intermediate Representation), which work as common interfaces between different programming languages for gate-based quantum computing and target quantum computation programs.
Microsoft And Copenhagen University Develop New Quantum Computing MaterialThe material – a semiconductor, superconductor, and ferromagnetic insulator hybrid – can hold the delicate quantum information and protect it from decoherence. This device, the qubit, is essentially to a quantum computer what the transistor is to the ordinary computer we know…
