Today, Microsoft announced that it will open-source these efforts in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>This move, the company says, is meant to make \u201cquantum computing and algorithm development easier and more transparent for developers.\u201d In addition, it will make it easier for academic institutions to use these tools, and developers, of course, will be able to contribute their own code and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, the code will live on Microsoft\u2019s GitHub page.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/05\/06\/microsoft-open-sources-its-quantum-computing-development-tools\/\" title=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/05\/06\/microsoft-open-sources-its-quantum-computing-development-tools\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft\u2019s quantum computer may not have a working qubit yet, but the company has been hard at work on building the tools to program future quantum computers.
