This session will be a practical, demo-led introduction to quantum computation with Microsoft’s Q# platform (https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/quantum/), which now supports Mac and Linux). We will begin with a crash course in quantum computing and Q#, covering topics such as bits vs. qubits, superposition and entanglement, and gates and circuits, as well as some Q# basics. We will then move on to explore the unique phenomenon of quantum teleportation – first from a theoretical and then an applied perspective as we use Q# to bring the theory to life. The session will be presented by Anita Ramanan and Frances Tibble, both software engineers at Microsoft. Check out the UK Quantum Blog at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/uk_faculty_connection/2018/02/26/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-quantum-computing-and-q-blog/ for regular updates and tutorials.

Anita (@whywontitbuild) graduated from University College London in 2014 with an MSci in Natural Sciences: Atomic and Particle Physics and Physical Chemistry (TL;DR: Quantum Mechanics). Since then, she has been working at Microsoft and is now a Software Engineer focusing on the Internet of Things (particularly as it relates to healthcare) and Quantum Computing.

Frances (@frances_tibble) graduated with a degree in Computing from Imperial College London having completed a final year project with Microsoft Research. Frances now works as a Software Engineer for Microsoft focusing on Machine Learning and Quantum Computing.
