Quantum computing is not just in the labs anymore. There are a lot of cloud platforms that let you run code on real quantum chips for free or cheap. I’ll be covering those in another video coming soon, so make sure to subscribe to my channel and check out my Qiskit, Cirq, and AWS Braket tutorials on my channel too!

7:57 Other inspirational project ideas!

1. Read and implement a research paper in quantum computing.

One of my favorite papers that I recommend is "Option pricing with quantum computers" which was then implemented on IBM Q's 5 qubit system.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.02666.pdf

Another fun paper is “IMAGE PROCESSING IN QUANTUM COMPUTERS”, also implemented on the IBM Q machines. This paper shows how we can store N bits of classical information in log2 N quantum bits, which means we could potentially have an exponential speed-up in computation with image processing later.

2. Play a game like Choose a Pokemon Team or Sudoku!

Many games can become quantum using the QUBO algorithm - Quadratic unconstrained binary optimization. If a problem can be put in a binary quadratic model (BQM), QUBO or Ising models could run it on a quantum machine.

You can extend this problem to add more constraints and try it with different games. This is a great project for understanding optimization with annealers!

3. Contribute to an open source quantum framework

Cirq, Tensorflow, Qiskit, QuTIP and other frameworks are open source!
So the first thing to do to github and check out the "good first issue" labels. Make sure to read the contribution guidelines for whatever you’re going to submit to for style and any other requirements.
