⚡️ Microsoft releases QDK 1.30 with faster quantum program compilation
Microsoft has released version 1.30 of the Quantum Development Kit (QDK) — a platform for building quantum programs that compiles code from Q#, OpenQASM, and Qiskit into the industry-standard QIR format. The main addition is expanded capabilities for the Adaptive profile: expressing loops directly without unrolling, calling functions without inlining, and supporting unbounded loops such as "repeat-until-success." In some cases this cuts compilation time and program size by orders of magnitude. The release also adds new editor quick-fixes (auto-import and converting qubits to arrays) and configurable qubit-loss policies in noise models for two-qubit gates. In total, the release includes more than 40 merged pull requests with improvements to QIR generation, Stim compiler support, and the type system.
