Diving into Quantum Computing with Q# and Azure Quantum

Harnessing the unique behaviour of quantum physics and applying it to computing, quantum computers introduce new concepts to traditional programming methods such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum interference.

Microsoft, having a clear mindset towards the coming quantum era, is partnering with quantum hardware companies to provide developers with cloud access to quantum hardware.

Leveraging the Azure Quantum platform and the Q# language, developers are now able to explore quantum algorithms and run their quantum programs on different types of quantum hardware.

In this full-day workshop, we will:
- Learn about the features that make quantum supremacy feasible,
- Learn the basics of Microsoft's Q# programming language
- Create multiple quantum applications, some based on famous algorithms
- Run these applications on real quantum hardware using Azure Quantum.

Welcoming the Quantum Era with Azure Quantum

Harnessing the unique behaviour of quantum physics and applying it to computing, quantum computers introduce new concepts to traditional programming methods such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum interference.

Microsoft, having a clear mindset towards the coming quantum era, is partnering with quantum hardware companies to provide developers with cloud access to quantum hardware.

Leveraging the Azure Quantum platform and the Q# language, developers are now able to explore quantum algorithms and run their quantum programs on different types of quantum hardware.

In this session, we will explore Azure Quantum’s capabilities and run a Q# quantum application on a real quantum computer.

Quantum Machine Learning with Q#

Quantum Machine Learning is a research area that explores the interplay of ideas from quantum computing and machine learning.

In this session, we will explore how a hybrid Quantum-Classical Machine Learning model would work, how it can benefit us in the long run and how we can implement it using Microsoft's quantum programming language, Q#.

The new Azure SDK for .NET

Learn about the new Azure SDK for .NET and the improvements to performance, authentication and configuration that Microsoft's engineers have been working on in the last couple of years.
Besides theoretical concepts, we will write some code to explore the new and extensible HTTP Pipeline that all Azure clients internally use, implement authentication with the new Azure.Identity library and connect our app to an Azure Storage account.

What exactly is Deep Learning?

In this session we will discuss:
- What is the difference between Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning
- What problems can Deep Learning solve
- What tools and frameworks are available

Doing AI the Cloud Way: Enterprise Azure Machine Learning

AI spent over half a century being more hype than happening. So, why now? Many people don’t realize that the story of today’s applied AI is actually a story about The Cloud.
Join this session to understand the advantages of building an AI solution on the cloud and take a deep dive into the brand new Enterprise Azure Machine Learning and designer (preview).
