Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar

Quantum computing currently exists in a twilight zone of being available for testing without having arrived yet. While we're still waiting for the hardware to arrive, we can experiment with and learn from languages and simulators. Although IBM and others have been making good progress, we've paid particular attention to Microsoft's efforts based around the Q# language and its simulator (32 qubits locally and 40 on Azure). If you want to start wrapping your head around the potential future of programming, check out their set of samples on GitHub.
