## What it is
A collection of self-paced tutorials and programming exercises for learning quantum computing and the Q# programming language. Each kata provides progressive coding tasks with unit tests, hints, and reference solutions, runnable as Jupyter notebooks or Q# projects.

## Use cases
- learn quantum computing from scratch
- practice Q# programming exercises
- self-paced quantum algorithms tutorials
- learn linear algebra and complex arithmetic for quantum computing
- solve coding katas with unit test validation
- teach quantum programming in a course

## When to choose
- you want hands-on, test-driven exercises to learn Q# and quantum computing
- you prefer self-paced tutorials with hints and reference solutions
- you want to run exercises locally in Jupyter notebooks or Docker

## When to avoid
- you need the modern QDK tooling - use microsoft/qsharp instead
- you want production quantum development rather than learning materials
- you need an actively developed project - the repo is deprecated in favor of the online Azure Quantum katas

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: testing, developer-tools
- domain: quantum-computing, education, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform, python
