What about the quantum programming language? Q#? The extension is .qb so i think not... What do you think?

The sample they showed did not look like any of the standard .NET languages, so I wonder if they are going with a standalone language. AFAIK most quantum programming languages are actually embedded into another language (C, Haskell, ML) so if they actually implemented a standalone language, that would be interesting. Not sure what the file extension means.

It looks like it was related to Liquid. Info here: http://stationq.github.io/Liquid/

That specific code sample looks like it was based on the Teleport sample: https://github.com/StationQ/Liquid/blob/master/Samples/Telep...

when you look at the example, there was also a teleport.g.cs file which looks like a standard #C file, but possibly auto-generated(?) What do you think?
