QHack QML Challenges

Sharpen your quantum machine learning (QML) skills and compete against other teams for top spot!

The QML Challenge contains 12 individual problems, ranging in difficulty from building basic quantum circuits to implementing QML workflows. The problems can be tackled in any order, and harder questions are worth more points. The problems can be tackled individually or as part of a team (limit of one account per team).

The QML Challenges will remain open during the QHack Open Hackathon. Achieving a high rank on the QML Challenge Scoreboard will improve your chances of claiming the Open Hackathon Grand Prize of summer internships at CERN.

Power Ups

You can tackle the QML Challenges at any time during QHack, but there are some Power Ups available to be won by those who start early.

The top 80 teams on the scoreboard at 6PM EST on Friday Feb 19 will receive $250 in AWS credits.

These credits can be used to build your QHack Open Hackathon project. Teams can apply credits to any AWS service, including Amazon Braket, where they can showcase their ideas using Rigetti, IonQ, and D-Wave hardware or with high-performance simulators in the cloud.
