Open Source For You
|March 2026
Microsoft has released an open source Quantum Development Kit (QDK) focused on quantum chemistry and error correction, expanding its Azure Quantum developer ecosystem.
-
Announced on January 22, the tools are available now, with full availability expected through a phased rollout concluding in 2026.
A key differentiator of the release is cross-framework compatibility.
Developers can work seamlessly across Q#, OpenQASM, IBM Qiskit, and Google Cirq within a single environment, eliminating the need to switch tools or rewrite programs.
