Case study

Project Qoconut

Generated QRNG datasets with Qiskit simulators and IBM hardware, then compared them with pseudorandom data through statistical tests and classification.

Role:
Quantum circuit and machine-learning contributor
Timeline:
SC Quantathon, Oct 2024
Stack:
Python, Qiskit, Jupyter, Machine Learning

How it works

Hadamard circuits generate bit strings through Aer simulation and IBM hardware. After normalization and a stratified split, a CNN and Random Forest classify quantum and pseudorandom samples; Logistic Regression combines their predictions.

Results and takeaways

  • Running the same circuit in a simulator and on IBM hardware made device noise part of the experiment instead of an abstract caveat.
  • Randomness tests measured sequence properties, while the classifier tested whether the two data sources contained learnable differences.
