Quantum Challenge Tracks
Track A: Post-Quantum Cryptography & Algorithms
Tackle foundational quantum algorithms: 16-qubit QFT phase recovery, hardware QPE readout mitigation, ML-KEM/ML-DSA handshakes, CBOM audits, and 1025-bit Shor RSA factoring.
Track B: Post-Quantum Systems & Security
Operationalize post-quantum security across large-scale distributed architectures: code signing scopes, HNDL archives, TLS hybrid groups, stale cache revocations, and rollback integrity.
Track C: Quantum Optimization & QAOA
Solve complex combinatorial optimization challenges on noisy quantum hardware: QAOA portfolio selection across multi-backends, QUBO knapsack penalty tuning, and Processor D CX routing audits.
Track D: Quantum Machine Learning
Audit quantum machine learning pipelines: re-encode ECG data for a frozen variational classifier, expose a hand-boosted quantum kernel Gram matrix, and repair a broken zero-noise extrapolation run.
How To Compete & Capture Flags
FLAG SYNTAX: QCTF{...}
Flags follow standard cryptographic formats: QCTF{your_computed_flag}. All flags are validated against instant cryptographic hashes.
QISKIT 1.0 PRIMITIVES
Challenges utilize modern Qiskit patterns. Use EstimatorV2 and StatevectorSampler for accurate quantum simulation.
