-# LIQUi|>: Language-Integrated Quantum Operations
+# The Language-Integrated Quantum Operations (LIQ<i>Ui</i>|&#x232A;) simulator
 
-## What Is LIQUi|>?
+This site has been moved to a new home at **http://stationq.github.io/Liquid/**.
+The repository is available at http://github.com/StationQ/Liquid.
 
-LIQUi|> is a simulation platform developed by the QuArC team at Microsoft Research to aid in the exploration of quantum computation. 
-LIQUi|> stands for “Language Integrated Quantum Operations”.  
-A quantum operation is usually referred to as a unitary operator (U) applied to a column state vector (also known as a ket: |> ).
-The “i” is just a constant scaling factor, hence the acronym.
-
-LIQUi|> includes three simulators: 
-* A full state vector simulator that tracks the detailed evolution of the quantum state
-* A stabilizer simulator based on CHP (Aaronson and Gottesman, http://arXiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0406196)
-* A highly-optimized full state vector simulator for fermionic Hamiltonians
-
-### For More Information

-See the [Microsoft Research project page on LIQUi|>](http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/liquid/)
-and the paper, [LIQUi|>: A Software Design Architecture and Domain-Specific Language for Quantum Computing](http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/209634/1402.4467.pdf).

-## What Can I Do With It?
-
-You can use LIQUi|> to define quantum circuits, render them into a variety of graphical formats, and execute them
-using an appropriate simulator.
-
-Some of the specific algorithms you can simulate with LIQUi|> are:
-* Simple quantum teleportation
-* Shor's factoring algorithm
-* Quantum chemistry: computing the ground state energy of a molecule
-* Quantum error correction
-* Quantum associative memory (Ventura and Martinez, http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9807053)
-* Quantum linear algebra (Harrow, Hassidim, and Lloyd, http://arxiv.org/abs/0811.3171)
-
-All of these algorithms, and many more, are included as samples with LIQUi|>.
-
-## How Do I Use It?
-
-LIQUi|> is being made available for use on Microsoft Azure virtual machines. 
-This version will not run on a desktop machine or other non-Azure system.
-
-See the [users' guide](https://msr-quarc.github.io/Liquid/LIQUiD.pdf) and the [full help documentation](https://msr-quarc.github.io/Liquid/).
-The help may also be dowloaded as a [single file](https://msr-quarc.github.io/Liquid/Liquid.chm), if desired.
-
-Note that this version of LIQUi|> is limited to a maximum of 22 physical qubits for full state vector simulation.
-
-If you run into a problem or have a question, you can [post an issue](https://github.com/msr-quarc/Liquid/issues).
-
-## How Do I Get It?
-
-LIQUi|> is available from this repository for use on an Azure virtual machine image.
-We recommend using the a VM image that includes the free Community Edition of Visual Studio 2015.
-
-To set up and use your own Azure virtual machine with LIQUi|>, check out the [Quick Start Guide](QuickStart.md).
-
-### Microsoft Azure Information and Cost
-
-An Azure basic-tier A2 instance is appropriate for most uses of LIQUi|>.
-This VM type, if located in the south central US region, costs $0.148 per hour.
-At 8 hours per day for 21 weekdays in a month, this comes to $24.86 per month.
-See the [Microsoft Azure pricing calculator](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/) for details.
-
-A new Microsoft Azure account comes with a one month free trial for up to $200 of usage.
-
-If you are teaching a course using LIQUi|>, the [Microsoft Educator Grant Program](https://www.microsoftazurepass.com/azureu) may be applicable.
-It will provide Microsoft Azure funding for you and your students that will more than cover their LIQUi|> usage.
