Stuy Quantum

What is Fall Fest?

The Qiskit Fall Fest is a collection of quantum computing events that traditionally take place on college campuses around the world, but in our case it will take place in our high school. The event is run and organized by the StuyQuantum leaders with the support of IBM Quantum. There will be some beginner-level challenges designed to help understanding of basic quantum computing concepts. The event will occur virtually and in-person during Thursday club meetings.

How To Participate

When?

The event will start on Thursday, November 7, 2024 at 3:45pm and will end on Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 5:00pm.

For assistance or a place to work, come to the weekly meeting on Thursday, November 7 and November 14.

Who?

Anyone can participate! You do not have to be part of StuyQuantum, but if you find the challenges to be at all interesting, consider joining! Note that only Stuyvesant students will be able to attend the Thursday meeting.

How?

The task at hand is to complete the challenge problems within a Jupyter Notebook we created. No prior experience is necessary and before starting, you should look over our week 5 slides to explore ciruit making. Note: you will need to have an Qbraid (free to make) to access the Jupyter Notebook. More detailed instructions are shown below.

Prizes

Qiskit Merch

After the submission deadline, we will go through all of the submissions and, depending on availability, the best submissions with receive merch.

Certificate of Completion

Everyone who has a submission will recieve a certificate of completion. Even if all of the parts of the challeneges aren't correct, you should still submit it before the deadline for the certificate!

Greetings recruits,

We thank you for your willingness to come to our assistance in a time of need. As of 03:45 today, one of our automated remote quantum computing facilities has been hijacked and is giving us qubits that are already entangled. Until we are able to take back control over the facility, we need you to undo the damage further in the circuits. For each circuit, attempt to return it to a |000...000> type state for as high of a probability as you can so that we can run our code with minimal issues.

Attached below are the various systems you have at your disposal

Greetings Operatives,

Thank you for your service. With your aid, we managed to keep the quantum computers usable until we took back the facility and were able to remove the enemy circuits. Now, we have identified the group responsible, and have decided to punish them by taking over their facility in the same way. We request that you use your experience with their circuits to design some circuits of our own.

Attached are a composer to help you design your circuits and a file to place your circuits in.

Greetings Operatives,

Your circuits were of great use to us in our counterattack, or that is, they would have been if a turncoat in our midst did not also apply them to our quantum computers. Unfortunately, the combined file with all our circuits was destroyed by the traitor, so we can not just counter them immediately. Please help us repair our computers one last time, and in the meantime we will hunt down the traitor. This should not be too difficult with all your expertise in countering circuits.

Attached is the same set up as the one you used in Stage 1.
