God really plays dice - Introduction to Quantum Computing with Q#
summary
Quick primer on what happens and what actually runs: demos use Q# and Azure Quantum (QDK, local simulator and vendor backends IonQ Continuum rigati), including a 16‑qubit random generator and a 2‑bit demo showing 25% distribution per outcome. Claim: simulating a penicillin molecule needs ~10^86 amplitudes (≈ 286 logical qubits), so quantum devices target that space. H gate gives 50/50, H twice returns 0, and entanglement demos produce perfectly correlated results (entangled RNG matched 100/100). Azure gives ~500 free credits per provider but real hardware queues can be days to a week.
