Counting resources required for quantum numerics applications

This sample demonstrates:

• How to configure project files for Q# standalone applications to estimate the quantum resources required to run a Q# operation.
• How to use the %estimate magic command provided by the IQ# kernel to estimate the quantum resources required to run a Q# operation.

Prerequisites

• The Microsoft Quantum Development Kit.

Running the Sample

To run the sample, use the dotnet run command from your terminal:

dotnet run

The .csproj file provided for this Q# standalone application sets the default simulator to be ResourcesEstimator, such that the above command will report the resources required to run the Q# program.

This sample can also be used as a Q# notebook:

jupyter notebook

Manifest

• ResourceCounting.qs: Q# code implementing polynomial function evaluation.
• Program.qs: A Q# standalone application for use with the -s ResourcesEstimator option.
• ResourceCounting.csproj: Main Q# project for the sample.
• ResourceEstimation.ipynb: A Jupyter Notebook version of the sample.
