Creating a quantum algorithm using Microsoft Q#

In the last couple of years, there has been a lot of talk about quantum computing. A few years ago, Microsoft has released their preview of Azure Quantum and the quantum programming language Q#. So today, you cannot only write quantum programs on a simulated environment with Q#, but you can also write Q# and target a physical quantum computer on Azure Quantum.

In this session, I will guide you through the implementation of an existing quantum algorithm, step by step, while I explain all the details. This will be a very technical and code-heavy session.
