Best Advanced Quantum Track Hack - Bitcamp

The Undergraduate Quantum Association partnered with Bitcamp presents the Quantum Track! Quantum computers are a brand new domain of computing, intended to solve problems that "classical" computers struggle with, and complement classical algorithms in challenging subroutines such as training machine learning models. This year, we've got two distinct tracks, beginner and advanced, to introduce you to this brand-new paradigm of computing! In the Advanced Quantum track, you'll be using the skills you learn in the advanced track workshop -- namely, a more comprehensive introduction to quantum computing, and applying quantum computing to linear systems -- to design a hybrid classical-quantum algorithm that uses quantum techniques in some way to solve our challenges. Prizes: First Place: Mini Projector or Wireless Charging Pads Second Place: Google Pixel Buds or Cloud subscriptions to IonQ hardwares
