## New to Quantum? ##



See the [introduction to quantum computing](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/quantum/concepts-overview/) provided with the Quantum Development Kit.



## Getting Started ##



The libraries provided in this repository are built using [.NET Core](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/) and the

[Quantum Development Kit](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/quantum).

Please see the [installation guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/quantum/install-overview-qdk) for how to get up and running.



You may also visit our [Quantum](https://github.com/Microsoft/Quantum) repository, which offers a wide variety

of samples on how to use these libraries to write quantum based programs.

## [Optional] Using Prerelease Versions ##



If you're interested in helping test the Quantum Development Kit libraries, or if you want to try out new features before they are released, you can add the [Quantum Development Kit prerelease feed](https://dev.azure.com/ms-quantum-public/Microsoft%20Quantum%20(public)/_packaging?_a=feed&feed=alpha) to your .NET Core SDK configuration.

Packages on the prerelease feed are marked with `-alpha` in their version number, so that projects built using released versions of Quantum Development Kit libraries will not be affected.

Note that the prerelease feed is used automatically when building libraries in this repository.



To use the prerelease feed, edit your `NuGet.Config` file to include the prerelease feed URL (`https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/ms-quantum-public/Microsoft Quantum (public)/_packaging/alpha/nuget/v3/index.json`) as a package source.

The location of this file varies depending on your operating system:



| OS | NuGet config file location |

|----|----------------------------|

| Windows | `$Env:APPDATA/Roaming/NuGet/NuGet.Config` |

| macOS / Linux | `~/.config/NuGet/NuGet.Config` or `~/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config` |



Note that this file may not already exist, depending on your configuration.



For example, the following `NuGet.Config` file includes both the main NuGet package feed, and the Quantum Development Kit prerelease feed:



```xml
