NYUAD Hackathon for Social Good in the Arab World: Focusing on Quantum Computing (QC)

https://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/events/2022/march/nyuad-hackathon-event.html

March 30 - April 1, 2022

Technical challenge

Create a program that applies one or more quantum algorithms to a social good problem of your choice.

Quantum algorithm examples:

  • Shor's algorithm
  • Grover's search
  • Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE)
  • Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA)

Social good topic examples:

  • Healthcare
  • Science (e.g. AI, cryptography, biochemistry)
  • Environment (climate)
  • Education & Literacy
  • Food Securities
  • Crisis & Public Safety
  • Financial Modeling
  • Gaming

Implementation requirements:

  • Must utilize quantum hardware available through preferably IBM. However, we set also have AWS devices available as well.
  • You are also free to use any technology which allows you to solve the challenge.

Bonus requirements:

  • Incorporate noisy simulation through IBM
  • Incorporate a hybrid quantum-classical task through IBM

qBraid Tutorials

Here, we provide useful tutorials on how to use qBraid-Lab, along with tutorials on quantum computing, using IBM or Amazon Braket. The ladder were provided by the qiskit-tutorials and the amazon-braket-examples github repositories repsectively.

The repository is structured as follows:
