Research packages

This repository defines several NuGet packages for use in non-commercial research:

• Microsoft.Quantum.Research: A single metapackage for all non-commercial research functionality offered with the Quantum Development Kit.
• Microsoft.Quantum.Research.Chemistry: Additional functions and operations for working with optimized Jordan–Wigner transformations in chemistry applications.
• Microsoft.Quantum.Research.Characterization: Advanced iterative phase estimation functions and operations.

Each of these packages provides Q# functions, operations, and user-defined types in namespaces beginning with Microsoft.Quantum.Research, paralleling the functions, operations, and user-defined types in the open-source Q# libraries provided with the Quantum Development Kit. For example, the functionality exposed by the Microsoft.Quantum.Research.Chemistry package is provided in the Microsoft.Quantum.Research.Chemistry namespace, and extends the functionality provided by the Microsoft.Quantum.Chemistry package in the Microsoft.Quantum.Chemistry namespace.

For more details, see the API reference documentation for each namespace beginning with the Microsoft.Quantum.Research prefix.
