Welcome to the Qiskit Hackathon Korea! This event is being organized in partnership between KAIST, SKKU, and IBM Quantum. Throughout the 24 hour hacking phase, you will have access to IBM coaches who will help guide you and help answer your Qiskit-related questions.

IBM Quantum is an industry leader in quantum computing, working everyday towards achieving quantum advantage. Qiskit is the open source framework enabling developers around the world to write code for quantum computers.

How to sign up for the Korea Hackathon:

• Register for the hackathon by clicking on 'Register Now'.
• Join our place for conversation (TBD)
• When you register, by default you are added as the team leader of your own team. You can either invite others to your team by clicking on “Build a Team” or join another team by clicking on “Join a team”.
• Each team only can work on 1 project.
• As a reminder, if you work for the government in any capacity, IBM Quantum cannot award you any prize money. See our Contest Terms for full details and restrictions.

How to create or support a project idea:

• In phase one, from Feb 16th – Feb 18th, you can form teams and propose project ideas, but you can not begin building any of those ideas.
• Participants are free to join or leaves teams until a project idea is submitted. However, you MUST have a team of at least 3 members by Feb 18th. If you do not, you will be disqualified from the hackathon
• Once your team has submitted an idea proposal, your team becomes locked. No one else can join or leave after this. Your team will move ahead to phase 2, which is the “building” phase from Feb 18th - Feb 19th. This is when you work together to actually build your project using Qiskit.

How to build your project:
