Questions tagged [q#]
Q# is a domain-specific programming language used to express quantum algorithms. This tag should be used for questions related to creating/programming quantum algorithms using the 'Q#' language. If the question is unrelated to, or arising from some non-quantum aspect of Q#, it might be better to ask on StackOverflow. If appropriate, also use the [programming] tag.

Is there a way to measure a time spent for simulation? Does Q# support something like this?
I want to measure the time spent for simulation of different algorithms to make some assumption about their efficiency.
I use Microsoft Azure Quantum SDK and VS Code setup.

How write a marking oracle if greater than with Q#?
I'm trying to write a code to find a minimum in a list. I follow this paper : A quantum algorithm for finding the minimum. So I need to write an operator to mark the case $T
[j] < T[y]$.
My idea is ...
