To register for HAQS, create a qbraid account and visit the HAQS tab or https://account.qbraid.com/haqs
If you need further assistance feel free to contact us:
Of course! HAQS is open for all individuals on their quantum journey.
We are working to create challenges for which you can complete in ~30 hours. You are welcome to spend more time to make you submission much more competitive.
Technical
You will have access to quantum computers from Rigetti, IonQ, DWave, and Oxford Quantum Computing. You will receive more details on the exact machines being made available, soon.
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.
