About the challenge

Welcome to Carolina Quantum Hacks! In this event, participants are challenged to create innovative projects related to quantum computing. Whether you're a seasoned quantum programmer or a novice enthusiast, this hackathon is an opportunity to explore the cutting-edge field of quantum computing and showcase your creativity and technical skills. Your project could be an educational tool to explain quantum concepts, a simulation demonstrating quantum algorithms, or even a practical application utilizing quantum programming frameworks like Qiskit. The possibilities are endless, so let your imagination soar in the quantum realm! We’d like your team to record a brief 3-5 minute video explaining your project.
