## What it is
A collection of self-contained samples demonstrating the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit (QDK) and the Q# programming language, covering quantum algorithms, teleportation, and related tasks. The repository is deprecated in favor of the Modern QDK at microsoft/qsharp.

## Use cases
- learn quantum computing with q# examples
- run quantum teleportation sample code
- find quantum algorithm sample implementations
- get started with microsoft quantum development kit
- explore q# jupyter notebook samples
- simulate quantum circuits locally

## When to choose
- studying the classic QDK sample set or maintaining legacy Q# code
- learning quantum programming concepts through runnable examples

## When to avoid
- starting a new quantum project - use the Modern QDK at microsoft/qsharp instead
- needing current Azure Quantum Python integration samples

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: sdk, simulation, developer-tools
- domain: quantum-computing, tutorials, education
- platform: cross-platform, python, cli
- tags: qsharp, quantum-development-kit, jupyter-notebooks, samples, deprecated
