I am programming quantum algorithms in Microsoft Liquid (F#). For debugging, it would be really nice to see what the current quantum state is.

I can use: 

for q in qs do show "q[%d]=%s" q.Id (q.ToString())

where qs is my list of qubits, but this only works if the state is not entangled.
However, if it is entangled, is there a way to just show the current quantum state, e.g.: 

ket = 1/sqrt(2)*[|00>+|11>]

  • I know very little about liquid or quantum computing, but I am intrigued by the use of a platform with roots in e-commerce platform for quantum algorithms — is there anything worth mentioning in your post about this technology choice? – PJTraill Dec 06 '17 at 12:13

The Ket.Dump method will print a nicely formatted state vector to the console:

qs.[0].Ket.Dump()
