Welcome to the Quantum Simulation in AR Challenge!
This challenge focuses on providing an Augmented Reality platform for Optical Board and Quantum simulation prototyping ! By placing elements around the scene, spectators and educators can deliver a tangible representation of Quantum phenomenons.
Resources to Get Started
Introductions to Quantum Computing Can Be Utilized
- Video demoing IBM Qiskit implementation of Quantum operators and visualization
Work and Resources for Getting Started
Challenge Overview
The hackathon is structured into three progressive stages, each building on the previous one to deepen your understanding and skills in quantum computing, quantum principles and augmented reality-based learning. Participants can submit their work for any number of stages they complete within the allotted time.
Stages of the Challenge
Stage 1: Familiarize with quantum computing concepts and circuits
Objective:
Get to grips with concepts and experiment with simulators.
Description:
Use IBM Qiskit Simulators or other public simulators to explore quantum computing concepts. This stage will help you understand the basics of quantum circuits and qubit measurement. Once this is relatively straightforward for you, try and prepare circuits, visualization and result analyses.
Resources:
- Basic QRNG superposition data generation tutorial using Qiskit sims
- Basic Qiskit quantum circuit construction tutorial
- Running circuits on IBM machines using Qiskit
Stage 2 : Visualizing and modelling
Objective:
Form ideas on how to represent and interact with them, in an augmented reality format.
Description: List concepts and elements that can be illustrated and combined in such a context : Single or multiple qubits, bloch spheres, quantum gates, interactive measurement and superposition setup, probability waves etc...

Stage 3 : AR implementation
Objective: Implement a proof of concept offering configurable elements and actionable items that allow participants to visualize quantum computing processes and phenomenon.
Description:
A few chosen concepts can be placed around an AR scene and offer a live immersive simulation visualization, connected to a live simulator or quantum computer. AR interactions support experiments with the simulation.
Submission Guidelines
- Participants can submit their work for any number of stages they complete.
- Detailed documentation and code for each stage are required for submission.
Conclusion
This hackathon is an exciting opportunity to dive into the world of quantum computing and make meaningful contributions to the field of quantum computing education and simulation. We look forward to seeing your innovative solutions and groundbreaking research. Good luck!
