coding
challenges
The core component
of the Codebook is a
set of coding
challenges
(codercises) in
Python. They require
you to test your
knowledge of new
concepts by solving
short quantum
computing problems.
The challenges are

In addition, please copy your codes from Xanadu Quantum to Google Colab. Include an illustration
of your code at the end of jupyter notebook. Please make sure you include relevant packages in the
beginning of code. You don't need these when running the codes on Xanadu Quantum page but
you need to include these, when running on Google Colab. Please make sure you change permission
properly. General viewer access for "Anyone with the link" should be ok.
Here is an example of my codes. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1gqX_XdFppslnht6Snf-JFaGUu7UFgA41?usp=sharing
2. Read Xanadu Quantum Codebook I.1 Tutorial and complete 5 exercies. There are five
tasks. Submit the confirmation page, which shows “5/5 Complete” as well as we the link to copy
of your code. (5 points) You can take the screen shot as shown in Fig. 1 and submit via email (or
include this on your Google Colab page below).
3. Read Xanadu Quantum Codebook 1.2 Tutorial and complete 4 exercises. There are four
tasks. Submit the confirmation page, which shows "4/4 Complete" as well as we the link to copy
of your code. (4 points) You can take the screen shot as shown in Fig. 1 and submit via email (or
include this on your Google Colab page below).
You can send me three separate links. Or you can keep everything on one jupyter file but in this
case,
please make sure you separate them clearly.
