Quantum Development Kit updates: support for macOS, Linux, plus Python and Q# interoperability

The Quantum Development Kit preview is now available for macOS and Linux. Jeff Henshaw from Microsoft's quantum computing team demonstrates how to get up and running on a Mac with Visual Studio Code, new interoperability with Python and Microsoft's Q# quantum programming language and how you can participate in the open source community to find and share your quantum code.

Watch other shows in this series to learn about the Quantum Development Kit and how you can access local quantum simulators or in Azure.

Thanks for building out this toolkit! I was wondering where I could find more information about the Python interoperability. So far, this video is the only resource I have found.

I would be more exicted about more information about debugging and resource estimation for the circuits.

Typo: 'parameter' appears as 'perimeter' in the captions. (3:14)

Too bad they abandoned the previous F# based quantum programming language. Using a C-style syntax of course means faster adoption by more developers, but the F# syntax is simpler and far more elegant. Overall it seems like a good language and has retained some nice F# influences.
