Q# Advent Calendar 2018

To celebrate the festive season, our friends over in the Q# team are running a Q# Advent Calendar with a new post every day from 1^st-24^th December! Check it out to learn more about everything from quantum simulation to solving the Travelling Santa Problem to why amplitudes are complex!

Frances and I have also contributed posts for this festive event:

• 15^th December: Quantum Perceptrons (Frances)
  • Learn (in comic form!) how to implement a quantum perceptron, from creating a dataset through to classification of that data
  • Designed to supplement the Introduction to Quantum Machine Learning workshop run at the Machine Learning, AI & Data Science (MLADS) conference 2018
• 18^th December: Gro-ho-ho-ver's Algorithm: How Quantum Computing Saved Christmas (Anita) (non-festive version can be found here)
  • Learn how Grover's algorithm works in this step-by-step breakdown, plus how you can implement it using Q#
  • Designed to supplement the official Microsoft sample for Grover's algorithm

For other posts relating to Q# and quantum computing, check out the rest of the Quantum Adventures blog for intro-level posts and links to lots of useful content 😊

We hope you find them useful and wish you happy holidays!
