"LIQ𝑈𝑖⏐〉" is a very strange logo... Doesn't seem terribly legible to me.

It is for the physicists. The D is a ket...

And the U is a unitary operator (the propagator in this case). "i" is also found everywhere in QM.

It's not open source as the title says, they just store a crippled version of the binary on Github. Check the "source" directory if you don't believe me. It's almost comical the way it's set up.

Surely the very first thing I do with my first quantum computer is to run .NET on it.

I don't think we're at the state where people are trying to run simulations of quantum computing, on quantum computers.

Especially when it shows up as liq.

Not sure why this is downvoted. The simulator is closed source. The library to use the simulator is open.

Why was the mention of Microsoft removed from the title?
