Project Qoconut

A comparison of quantum and pseudorandom bit strings using IBM hardware, noise simulation, and an ensemble classifier.

Created for the SC Quantathon 2024 DoraHacks challenge, Project Qoconut builds Hadamard-gate circuits in Qiskit, runs them in Aer and on IBM Brisbane, and compares the resulting bit strings with NumPy-generated samples.

A separate notebook models readout and thermal-relaxation noise with fake IBM backends. The machine-learning pipeline combines a one-dimensional CNN and Random Forest, then feeds both predictions into a Logistic Regression meta-learner.
