qBraid is incredibly excited to host their very own hackathon where users will hack for 2 weeks to achieve the highest score on our leaderboard.
If you’re a software developer and are interested in AI/ML and want to dip into QML this is a perfect opportunity to try out quantum computing.
The hackathon will span two weeks from (Oct 21st ~ Nov 5th) and consist of one main challenge!
Virtually on Zoom & Discord, once registered everything will be a click away on https://account.qbraid.com/haqs
The main HAQS challenge will ask participants to explore NISQ solutions to supervised machine learning classification problems. Namely, they will construct a quantum variational classifier and/or quantum kernel estimator, and use quantum hardware to train their model and achieve the highest accuracy possible on the given task.
Top teams who run on quantum hardware will have their results posted on a leaderboard where the winner’s contribution will be merged into an open source project (TBA).
If you’re a software developer and are interested in AI/ML and want to dip into QML this is a perfect opportunity to learn and implement the latest algorithms and access quantum computers and simulators. qBraid provides one command line access and automated python package installations for various quantum computing applications. Get exclusive access at HAQS!
Your teammates of 2 ~ 6 will hack on qBraid Lab!

Our goal is to provide you with a crash-course for all the challenges through the workshops. So, with minimal prerequisites, you will be able to take part in HAQS and submit a competitive entry. We will work to organize a workshop for each of the challenges where we will explain the challenge and provide you initial directions to attack the problem.
