Looking for inspiration? This section contains links that might inspire new Unitary Fund projects.
<p>
Unitary Fund is supporting the development of
<a href="http://www.qutip.org/">QuTiP</a>, the Quantum Toolbox in Python. Interested students can apply
to propose a code project in QuTiP and be mentored by the core developers for a 3-month period, working
remotely, similarly to the Google Summer of Code. A list of
<a href="https://github.com/qutip/qutip/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2020"> project ideas</a>
is available from the QuTiP wiki. Applications are open all-year-round.

developer on Microsoft's open source
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/quantum/development-kit">Quantum Development Kit</a>
- has some suggestions:
</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: none">
<li class="leading-block">Additional Q# simulators (e.g.: open systems or CHP simulators)</li>
<li class="leading-block">
New language interoperability; currently, can call into Q# from Python, C#, F#, VB.NET, or PowerShell
</li>
<li class="leading-block">
Visualization and/or debugger tools (e.g.: improving the state visualizer sample)
</li>
<li class="leading-block">
New libraries for quantum algorithms (e.g.: we’ve gotten requests for
<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/0708.1879">QRAM</a>
implementations and a
<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9607014">Durr–Hoyer library)</a>

</ul>
<p>
<a href="http://travisscholten.com/">Travis Scholten</a> - an Advisory Board member from
<a href="https://www.ibm.com/quantum-computing/">IBM Quantum</a>
- suggests:
</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: none">
<li class="leading-block">
Some of the larger issues in Qiskit Terra labelled as "<a
href="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-terra/labels/short%20project"
>short projects</a
>."
</li>
<li class="leading-block">
Implementing the Solovay-Kitaev algorithm for approximating a given unitary by gates from a finite
set, to arbitrary accuracy.
</li>
<li class="leading-block">
Writing a simulator for parameterized quantum circuits, leveraging the Qiskit Parameter object.
</li>
<li class="leading-block">
Building an encoder and decoder for quantum expander codes. (References
<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1504.00822">here</a>,
<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.03821">here</a>, and

<a href="www.mustythoughts.com">Michał Stęchły </a> - an Advisory Board member from
<a href="https://www.zapatacomputing.com/">Zapata Computing</a>
- shares his ideas:
</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: none">
<li class="leading-block">
Visualization tools for high-dimension optimization landscapes could help get better insight into
algorithms like QAOA or VQE.
<a href="https://github.com/zapatacomputing/orqviz">Orqviz</a>
is our attempt to tackle this issue, but contributions / other attempts would be welcome.
</li>
<li class="leading-block">
At QOSF we have done
<a href="https://qosf.org/evaluation/">evaluation of open source projects</a>
in quantum in 2018. Help with updating and automating the process would be appreciated.
</li>
<li class="leading-block">
Many QC-related projects are scientifically solid, but lack on the software engineering side – murky
architecture, lack of tests, versioning, CICD, etc. I believe improving the quality of the software
could greatly benefit the community.
