Experience the impact of quantum solutions today
We're bringing quantum apps to life with an easy to use tool set, deep integration with leading development environments, and open-source resources.
The Microsoft Quantum Development Kit is the fastest path to quantum development.
Powering a new generation of development
A groundbreaking quantum-focused language
The first of its kind, Q# is a new high-level quantum-focused programming language. Q# features rich integration with Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code and interoperability with the Python programming language. Enterprise-grade development tools provide the fastest path to quantum programming on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Code optimization in a simulated environment
Set breakpoints, step into the Q# code, debug line-by-line, and estimate the real-world costs to run your solution. Simulate quantum solutions requiring up to 30 qubits with a local simulator.
Open Source libraries and samples
Developed by top industry experts, a collection of ready-to-use building blocks take you from being a beginner to building your first quantum solution. Open source allows development libraries and samples to be used in your applications, while also enabling you to contribute your own enhancements to the growing Q# community.
