"},{"id":887,"name":"Quantum Random Number Generation","slug":"quantum-random-number-generation","description":"# Welcome to the Dora Hacks Quantum Random Number Generator Challenge!\n\nWelcome to the Dora Hacks challenge focused on Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) using IBM QPUs! Our challenge track is designed to introduce your team to the practical application of generating and analyzing quantum random numbers as well as classifying quantum noise reflected in QRNG data. Random number generation is an essential component in creating high entropy encryption keys, and QRNGs are the truest source of randomness in nature. True random number generation will become more vital as hacking algorithms and AI continue to push the boundaries of cryptography. By leveraging the inherent unpredictability of quantum mechanics, QRNGs offer a level of randomness that classical random number generators cannot match.\n\n## Resources to Get Started\n\n### Introductions to Quantum Random Number Generation and How Quantum Computing Can Be Utilized\n\n1. [**Introduction to Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG)**](https://postquantum.com/post-quantum/quantum-random-number-generation-qrng/)\n2. [**Video demoing IBM Qiskit implementation of QRNG**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlOhEu6DILA&t=9s)\n\n### Dora Hacks Work and Resources for Getting Started\n\n1. [**Realization of Bell’s Theorem Certified Quantum Random Number Generation Using Cloud Quantum Computers**](https://research.dorahacks.io/2024/04/14/bell-theorem-certified-qrng-using-cloud-quantum-computers/) \n This research paper details steps for generating DI-QRNG (device-independent) data using the Bell Inequality quantum principle and the “CHSH game” circuit. For the scope of this hackathon, we will be generating QRNG with qubits in superposition for ease of use as well as the ability to characterize device-specific quantum noise and analyze its implications for our data. However, the research post and associated GitHub repo still have lots of useful information regarding quantum data processing, randomness extraction, and noise classification that will be useful for stages 3, 4, and 5 of this challenge.\n\n2. [**The Associated Repo Containing Notebook and Python Implementations of the Above Research Article**](https://github.com/dorahacksglobal/quantum-randomness-generator/tree/QC-Prediction-Model)\n\n## Challenge Overview\n\nThe hackathon is structured into five progressive stages, each building on the previous one to deepen your understanding and skills in quantum computing, QRNG, and a sprinkle of machine learning. Whether you are a novice or have experience with quantum computing, this challenge is designed to provide valuable learning opportunities at every level. Participants can submit their work for any number of stages they complete within the allotted time. The top submissions will also have the opportunity to submit their BUIDL to the NISQ quantum grant for additional funding! We will also be offering three internship spots to the winning teams.\n\n## Stages of the Challenge\n\n### Stage 1: Implementing a QRNG on IBM QPUs\n\n**Objective:** \nImplement a quantum random number generator on an IBM quantum machine or simulator (if needed) and generate QRNG data.\n\n**Description:** \nUse IBM Qiskit Simulators to create a circuit that measures qubits in equal superposition to generate quantum random numbers. This stage will help you understand the basics of quantum circuits and qubit measurement. Once this is relatively straightforward for you, try and generate QRNG data using actual IBM quantum computers (you will need to create a free account and use your API key) and analyze/visualize your results.\n\n**Resources:**\n- [Basic QRNG superposition data generation tutorial using Qiskit sims](https://github.com/dorahacksglobal/qc-classifier/blob/main/Hackathon_Tutorials/Qiskit_Superposition_QRNG.ipynb)\n- [Basic Qiskit quantum circuit construction tutorial](https://docs.quantum.ibm.com/guides/construct-circuits)\n- [Running circuits on IBM machines using Qiskit](https://docs.quantum.ibm.com/guides/hello-world)\n\n### Stage 2: Achieving High Accuracy with Classification Models\n\n**Objective:** \nUse the provided model to classify QRNG data and aim for high accuracy.\n\n**Description:** \nTrain a classifier model to classify whether the data is quantum or classical random numbers, with a target accuracy of over 60% for input lengths of 100-500 bit QRNG data. Attached in the resources section is skeleton code for training and testing a gradient boosting ML model with your dataset, as well as an example dataset you can use to classify quantum vs non-quantum data. Optional: Enhance the accuracy by building/optimizing your own models and exploring various machine learning hypertuning techniques. Optional: Attempt to classify with other variables, such as quantum simulator vs actual quantum computer data, or classify by actual IBM quantum computers. You will have to create your own training data sets.\n\n**Resources:**\n- [Skeleton code for gradient boosting model to classify QRNG](https://github.com/dorahacksglobal/qc-classifier/blob/main/Hackathon_Tutorials/QRNG_Classifier_GBModel.ipynb)\n- [Sample training data (QRNG vs PRNG) to use for classification](https://github.com/dorahacksglobal/qc-classifier/blob/main/Hackathon_Tutorials/QRNGvsPRNG_TrainingData.txt)\n\n### Stage 3: Characterizing Noise and Fidelity\n\n**Objective:** \nAnalyze the noise and fidelity of the quantum machine used for QRNG.\n\n**Description:** \nCharacterize the noise and fidelity of the IBM QPU to understand how these factors impact the quality of the generated random numbers. This stage involves data analysis and understanding the intricacies of quantum hardware performance. For an easier and intermediate step, analyze the noise patterns of IBM/Qiskit quantum simulators. Good data visualizations are a plus. You can find official device-specific quantum noise related data such as decoherence, error rates, etc both on the official IBM quantum platform and through Qiskit.\n\n**Resources:**\n- [Detailed information on specific IBM quantum computers](https://quantum.ibm.com/services/resources)\n - Includes different types of error rates on individual qubits and quantum gates, as well as other device-specific measurements\n\n### Stage 4: Pre-processing and Post-processing for High Entropy\n\n**Objective:** \nClean the QRNG data you generated on IBM’s quantum computers to generate high entropy, classically distributed quantum random number data.\n\n**Description:** \nDeploy pre-processing and post-processing techniques to enhance the entropy of the generated quantum random numbers. This stage focuses on data cleaning and improving the randomness quality of the QRNG data. Run your processed QRNG data through tests of randomness such as the NIST test suite for statistical randomness and present/analyze your results.\n\n**Resources:**\n- [Randomness extraction hashing of raw input using Toeplitz matrix](https://indico.cern.ch/event/390748/contributions/1825162/attachments/1280763/1902530/CRX_Poster_session_1_039.pdf)\n- How the Dora Hacks team processes raw QRNG data to generate statistically distributed random number output: There are functions to do this in the SciPy library\n- [NIST Statistical Test Suite for measuring randomness](https://www.nist.gov/publications/statistical-test-suite-random-and-pseudorandom-number-generators-cryptographic)\n\n### Stage 5: Measuring Entropy and Real-world Implementation\n\n**Objective:** \nMeasure the entropy of QRNG data and compare it against PRNG and TRNG data. Implement QRNG in a real-world example.\n\n**Description:** \nEvaluate the entropy of your quantum random numbers and compare them with classical pseudorandom number generators (PRNG) and true random number generators (TRNG). Additionally, implement the QRNG data in a real-world application, such as an encryption protocol, to demonstrate its practical utility. Optional: Implement your pre and post-processing methods and/or your noise/fidelity characterization frameworks into the classification model you developed in stage 2 to increase classification accuracy, especially for classifying QRNG vs PRNG data and/or classifying by specific quantum device. (HINT: quantum noise and fidelity will vary between quantum computers, and PRNG data will obviously not have any quantum noise reflected in the data).\n\n## Submission Guidelines\n\n- Participants can submit their work for any number of stages they complete.\n- The top submissions will be eligible to submit their BUIDL to the NISQ quantum grant for additional funding.\n- Detailed documentation and code for each stage are required for submission.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nThis hackathon is an exciting opportunity to dive into the world of quantum computing and make meaningful contributions to the field of noise-adjusted quantum random number generation. We look forward to seeing your innovative solutions and groundbreaking research.

To make the first type you need (as an absolute minimum) a dilution refrigerator, superconducting qubits and some very fancy control systems. To make the second type you need high vacuum, high voltages, an ion source and some lasers. Trapped-ion quantum computers are generally cheaper to get started with, and indeed I found a really impressive guy on the internet has been building one in his garage. In summary, both mainstream types of quantum computers are very complicated and expensive. Both of these cost **way** more than $100. \n\n# So, what can we build with $100?\n\nWe could get some lasers, some diffraction gratings, maybe an LCD or two and some single photon detectors to build a single quantum gate. There are some nice YouTube videos from @LookingGlassUniverse that are well worth a look. This would be very cool, but not exactly useful (and would need to be at least 2m long, unless we use lots of mirrors). Instead, we could build an optical computer. The team from Microsoft Research gave some very interesting presentations at CERN last year as part of the launch of CERN VentureConnect that I was fortunate to follow via Zoom. One of these caught my attention, discussing the use of off the shelf LCD elements for performing large matrix multiplications using light. This we could definitely do for $100 using a Raspberry Pi and hacking a few cheap LCD screens together. \n\n# What is the actual project then? \n\nThe plan (so far, all plans change!) is to build a very simple optical computer that fits in a briefcase and then use it to do multiplications, and emulate a quantum computer. Simple!\n\n\n## Part 1: Preparation\nThe team will prepare the hardware, test each component and assemble it in the briefcase.\n\n## Part 2: Learning\nWe will have discussion sessions with experts in the field, including from Microsoft Research in Cambridge, CERN Alumni and the Quantum Photon Science group at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI). Students are also encouraged to follow the Qiskit online lectures from IBM. \n\n## Part 3: Making it work\nOnce we have learned about the theory and assembled our computer, we will start with running simple simulations.\n\n1) The first test will be to run a simple, single pixel multiplication: 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.125. We will need some calibration to know we have the right answer.\n2) After this we can start to increase the resolution of our device, to find out where the limits of its optical performance are (spatially, not temporally) \n3) We will then need to write our own simple simulation of a quantum system, or borrow from someone else's and try to implement this using our new optical multiplier.\n\n### Judging Criteria for the Dora Hacks Hundred Dollar Quantum Computer Challenge\n\n1. **Building hardware**: 50%\n - Can we build an optical computer physically constructed in the box?\n\n1. **Low level code**: 20%\n - Installing, hacking and enabling all the hardware and drivers to get the physical hardware up and running, exposed to a python environment.\n\n1. **Proof of concept - Optical computer**: 20%\n - Once the hardware is operational, can we calibrate and operate the optical computer. This is necessary before we can use it for anything. Demo calculations should be performed with good repeatability.\n\n\n1. **Quantum simulation**: 10%\n - On the very top of the stack, we need to instantiate a quantum simulation framework. It could be something very simple that we write ourselves, or a more complex open framework that we port from elsewhere.
