Dear MSPQC students, See below regarding an exciting opportunity that is algorithm-related. Feel free to consult with prof. Otten who is very familiar with the tools that are mentioned in this challenge! Katerina

Hi Katerina!

I hope you're doing well! I'm co-organizing something that I think could be interesting for students in your program, see below:

Last year we have organized during IEEE Quantum Week conference we have organized workshops on Quantum Resource Estimation. They were very successful (you can read the summary herehttps://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.mustythoughts.com/qre-workshops__;!!Mak6IKo!JztB9Ti9FKI5JPEll83h2F_oXj8elVLcVY5JEBh_EAVeeFZEVmSRHkcoPJ1Nlf1Bchz4e0Wn20ESZZCeVJlK$) and one of the main issues with the development of quantum algorithms and assessing the practicality of particular applications that we identified is lack of appropriate tools for performing resource estimation.

In order to popularize the exisiting tools, this year we decided to organize a pre-workshop challenge. The goal of the challenge is to work on a QRE-related project using the available software tools. The winners of the challenge will be invited for to present their work at the workshop in Montreal. There are no restrictions on who can participate in the challenge.

You can find more details here: https://sites.google.com/view/qce2024-qre-workshops/qre-challengehttps://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/sites.google.com/view/qce2024-qre-workshops/qre-challenge__;!!Mak6IKo!JztB9Ti9FKI5JPEll83h2F_oXj8elVLcVY5JEBh_EAVeeFZEVmSRHkcoPJ1Nlf1Bchz4e0Wn20ESZV6OBfb0$

I'd appreciate if you could share information about this event with the people that you think might be interested.

Best! Michał
