To jump right in, you can explore Q# in the Azure Quantum portal with no installation required. Get started with Q# and the Quantum Development Kit Extensions for Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio Code, and integration with Jupyter Notebooks.Quantum simulators that simulate current and future quantum machines, so that you can run and debug your quantum algorithms written in Q#.Q# language and quantum libraries, all open-source.The QDK contains components that can be used standalone, independently from the Azure Quantum service: The QDK offers support for Q#, but also for Qiskit, and Cirq for quantum computing, so if you are already working in other development languages, you can also run your circuits on Azure Quantum. The QDK includes the quantum programming language Q#, a high-level, open-source programming language that allows you to focus your work at the algorithm and application level to create quantum programs. With the Quantum Development Kit, you can build programs that run on quantum hardware or formulate problems that run on quantum-inspired optimization solvers in Azure Quantum. You can also install the QDK locally on your computer to use your own local development environment and work both online and offline with the Azure Quantum service. It is built-in to the Azure Quantum portal, where you can develop programs using the free hosted Jupyter Notebooks. The Quantum Development Kit (QDK) is the SDK required to interface with the Azure Quantum service.
