***This repository has been archived. Please refer to [the tutorial on quantum classification with Q#](https://github.com/microsoft/QuantumKatas/tree/main/tutorials/QuantumClassification) for the latest version of the tutorial.***



# Welcome!



This repository contains the materials for the "Introduction to Quantum Classification" lab presented at Spring 2020 MLADS Conference. In this lab you will experiment with a simple circuit-centric quantum classifier using the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit.



## Running the Lab



You can run the lab online [on Binder](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/Microsoft/MLADS2020-QuantumClassification/master?filepath=QuantumClassification/ExploringQuantumClassificationLibrary.ipynb). 

> Running this lab on Binder is *very* slow, so if you prefer to run the lab online we recommend you to read through the notebook using saved cell outputs before attempting to run the cells.



Alternatively, you can [install Jupyter and Q#](https://docs.microsoft.com/quantum/install-guide/qjupyter) and 

[qsharp package for Python](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/install-guide/pyinstall). Note that this tutorial requires `matplotlib` and `numpy` Python packages to be installed.



After that you can run the tutorial locally by navigating to the `QuantumClassification` folder and starting the notebook from command line using the following command:



    jupyter notebook ExploringQuantumClassificationLibrary.ipynb



The Q# project in this folder contains the back-end of the tutorial and is not designed for direct use.



## Resources



Here are some resources to get you started:



* [Install Microsoft Quantum Development Kit and Q# Jupyter Notebooks](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/install-guide/qjupyter)

* Learn the basics of quantum computing and Q# using the [Quantum Katas](https://github.com/Microsoft/QuantumKatas/)

* Check out [Microsoft Quantum documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/quantum), in particular [introduction to quantum machine learning](https://docs.microsoft.com/quantum/libraries/machine-learning/)

* ['Circuit-centric quantum classifiers', by Maria Schuld, Alex Bocharov, Krysta Svore and Nathan Wiebe](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.00633) describes the original proposal behind this type of classifiers.
