Inspiration
Quantum Computers are cool.
What it does
The user can select from a few real world situations where the traveling salesman problem applies. Then, using the quantum phase algorithm and quantum fourier transform, we compute a solution and return it to the client to display.
How we built it
Frontend: React with react-graph-vis
Backend: AWS API Gateway interacts with Lambda functions which manage sessions in a DynamoDB and callback to IBMQ (IBM Quantum Experience) which runs the algorithm on a quantum computer.
Challenges we ran into
Weirdness in setting up various AWS products
How to run a long piece of code on a serverless backend and keep the client up to date
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Using a real QC to run the code
Setting up a truly serverless backend for it
Pretty frontend
What we learned
Serverless backends are easier than expected to make.
