Designing and programming a Bitcoin Miner using Microsoft Q#

In the news quantum computers are all the latest rage. While the quantum computers we have today are still research topics and limited to toy examples, it's still a clear vision of what our future will hold. To aid in the development and understanding of quantum protocols, quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, and quantum devices, Quantum Architectures and Computation Group (QuArC) has developed new language Q#. Q# in combination with the SDK facilitates the .Net framework with the necessary implementations and structures to specify quantum circuits which allow developers to emulate or can run a quantum computer as a virtual coprocessor. So lets use this to b uild a Bitcoin miner.
