# Executing Microsoft Quantum Topological Dataset Notebooks

Rajiv•12/6/2022

Microsoft recently released its [Topological Quantum Computing dataset](https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/quantum/2022/11/17/microsofts-quantum-machine-new-data-available-today/) for anyone to try out. This post describes how to do so.

As shown in [this article](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/quantum/overview-microsoft-quantum-machine), you can create an Azure Quantum Workspace and within its Notebooks tab, visit the available notebooks under Topological Quantum Computing.

There are three notebooks available to review:

- Analysis of device data from preprint paper
- First stage of topological gap protocol
- Second stage of topological gap protocol

To view and run a notebook:

1. In your new workspace, select **Notebooks** and then select **Topological quantum computing**.
2. Select your desired notebook, and select **Copy to my notebooks**.

Once you open your Azure Quantum Workspace, Select Topological Quantum Computing. Copy each into your notebooks, which is the third item among your listed Jupyter Notebooks.

Opening each starts a new Jupyter Server instance within your Azure Quantum Workspace. Study it, then click run all.

Each notebook should execute within a few minutes and populate the cells with results – data or graphics.

In case you want to see the outputs you can [read this paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.02472.pdf) which contains all the graphics that are generated using these three notebooks. Below is a Zipfile containing execution results from Pivotport Quantum Workspace if you wish to examine them in your own Jupyter Server.
