The contents to be included in the solution write up include:

  • Selected area of focus 

  • Description of Identified problem 

  • Case study research/Data analytics/methods used to identify the problem 

  • The proposed application, potential, and analysis of Quantum Computing to solve the identified problem 

  • Technical implementation of the proposed solution (eg. solution architecture) 

  • Comparison between classical computing methods & proposed Quantum Computing application to solve the identified problem 

  • Feasibility analysis of the proposed solution

​

Our judging panel will be evaluating submissions based on:

  • Analysis of Problem Statement

  • Solution Analysis

  • Technical Implementation

  • Feasibility

  • Innovation

 

To ensure fairness for all teams, please follow the provided template and format closely. Any deviation from the provided format may result in penalties that will be unbeneficial for your team. All solution write-ups must be submitted by Tuesday, 5th September, 2359 hrs. Any late submissions will not be entertained.​

The top 10 solution write-ups will be shortlisted for round 2 and announced on our Telegram channel on Shortlisted teams will receive their solution write-up, including feedback/recommendations from our judges if applicable. Shortlisted teams will need to convert their solution write-up into a solution pitch while refining their proposed solution. 

​​

The solution pitch will be in person on Friday, 15th September, video recordings of the presentation pitch will not be accepted. More details on the time and location will be announced at a later date. All slides must be submitted by Thursday, 14th September, 2359 hrs, no changes or late submissions will be accepted.
