Defining a Simulator with Built-in Operation Overrides

This sample demonstrates using Q# to create a quantum simulator that relies on full state simulator and redefines some of the built-in operations (using measurements as an example).

Prerequisites

• The Microsoft Quantum Development Kit.

Running the Sample

This sample can be run in a number of different ways, depending on your preferred environment.

C# in Visual Studio Code or the Command Line

At a terminal, run the following command:

dotnet run

C# in Visual Studio 2019

Open the folder containing this sample in Visual Studio ("Open a local folder" from the Getting Started screen or "File → Open → Folder..." from the menu bar) and set SimulatorWithOverrides.csproj as the startup project. Press Start in Visual Studio to run the sample.

Manifest

• FaultyMeasurementsSimulator.cs: C# code that defines the simulator and the operation overrides in it.
• Operations.qs: Q# code used to demonstrate the simulator behavior.
• Host.cs: C# code to call the operations defined in Q#.
• SimulatorWithOverrides.csproj: Main C# project for the example.
