Visualizing Quantum Programs

This sample demonstrates:

• Using %trace to visualize the execution path of a Q# program.
• Using %debug to step through the execution of a Q# program.

In this sample, you can use the %trace and %debug magic commands provided in Q# notebooks to visualize the execution path of a Q# program and to analyze the state of the quantum registers at each step of the program.

Prerequisites

• The Microsoft Quantum Development Kit.

Running the Sample

This sample is designed to be run from Jupyter Notebook. To set up your development environment to run Jupyter Notebooks, follow the steps explained in the Q# Quickstart: Jupyter guide.

Once this is set up, from the terminal, you can run the following command:

jupyter notebook

Manifest

• Visualizing Quantum Programs.ipynb: Main Q# notebook for this sample.
